Abstract

Nickel aluminate (NiAl2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel method with auto-combustion. The prepared nanoparticles were made into four parts and calcinated at 700, 900, 1100 and 13000C and taken up for the present study. The taken-up nanoparticles were characterized using powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersion X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier Transform and Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the spinel structure and Fd3m space group. Scherrer formula was used to calculate the crystallite size and found in the range 5.78 to 20.55 nm whereas the lattice parameter was found in the range of 8.039 to 8.342 Å. The average grain size was found in the range 142.80 to 187.37 nm whereas interplanar spacing was found in the range of 2.100 to 2.479 Å. The FTIR spectroscopy showed six absorption bands in the range 400 to 3450 cm-1 and confirmed the spinel structure. The optical band gap (Eg) was decreased with calcination temperature and found in the range 4.2129-4.3115eV.
