Synthesis of NiO Based Bimetallic Mixed Metal Oxide Nanoparticles by Sol-Gel Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nickel oxide based bimetallic mixed metal oxide nanoparticles are of considerable interest and they have been used as catalysts for NOx decomposition and as reactive adsorbents for ultra deep desulfurization. In the present study, nanoparticles of NiO-ZnO, NiO-CuO and NiO-MgO were synthesized by sol-gel method. The mixed metal oxide nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Pure NiO nanoparticles show a band gap of 4.24 eV and the band gap shows a blue shift or red shift in the case of mixed metal oxide nanoparticles.
