Nano Nickel Oxide (NiO) represents a critical advancement in materials science. This nanoscale form of nickel oxide exhibits properties vastly different from its bulk counterpart, primarily due to its significantly increased surface area and quantum confinement effects. Typically synthesized through methods like sol-gel, precipitation, hydrothermal, or thermal decomposition, precise control over particle size, morphology, and surface chemistry is paramount for targeted applications. Its inherent semiconductor nature, with a wide bandgap, underpins its functionality.
