Abstract: | Thermal decomposition process has been developed to synthesize nickel oxide (NiO) nanoclusters via the reaction between a new precursor, nickel oxalate Ni(O4C2)(H2O)4] and oleylamine (C18H37N). The combination of triphenylphosphine (C18H15P) and C18H37N were added as surfactants to control the particle size. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy. The synthesized NiO nanoclusters have a cubic structure with average size 2–10 nm. |
