Abstract

Synthesis of nickel oxide (NiO) nanorods was achieved by thermal decomposition of the precursor of NiC2O4 obtained via chemical reaction between Ni(CH3COO)2·2H2O and H2C2O4·2H2O in the presence of surfactant nonyl phenyl ether (9)/(5) (NP-9/5) and NaCl flux. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to characterize the structure features and chemical compositions of the as-made nanorods. The results showed that the as-prepared nanorods is composed of NiO with diameter of 10–80 nm, and lengths ranging from 1 to 3 micrometers. The mechanism of formation of NiO nanorods is also discussed.
