Synthesis of ZnO-NiO nanoparticle using solid-vapor phase thermal sublimation method

This report basically discusses the preliminary research done and basic understanding
of the chosen topic, which is the "Synthesis of ZnO-NiO nanoparticle using solidvapor
phase thermal sublimation method". This project will apply solid-vapor phase
thermal sublimation method to synthesis ZnO-NiO nanoparticle, to study and
characterize the effect of differentratios of ZnO-NiO used in determining its physicochemical
properties, study and characterize the effect of different calcinations
temperatures ofZnO-NiO used in determining its physico-chemical properties, and to
study the effect of introducing NiO to ZnO towards the electrical properties of zinc
oxide. For this study, ZiO and NiO is prepared via solid-vapor phase thermal
sublimation method. The chemicals used are Zinc Chloride and Nickel(ii)Nitrate
which will be mixed with distilled water and it will undergo heating and stirring
process on a hot plate. The ratio of Zinc Chloride with Nickel (ii) Nitrate will be
varied to study the effect ofusing different concentrations of mixed solution. Then the
mixed solution will undergo reflux process and will be put in an oven for drying
process. The dried solution will be transferred in a furnace for solid-vapor phase
thermal sublimation process to produce ZiO-NiO nanoparticle. The furnace
temperatures will be varied to study the relation of heat treatment with formation of
catalyst. The textural and morphological of the nanoparticle will be tested with
XRD,SEM and Uv-Vis will be conducted to study the nanoparticle's electrical
properties.
