Abstract

Spherical shaped nanocrystalline composites based on Ni(OH)2 and Mn3O4, (Mn3O4)x(Ni(OH)2)1-x (with x having the values 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0), have been prepared by a simple solvothermal method using a domestic microwave oven andcharacterized. The chemical composition, morphology, crystallite sizes and phase purity were determined by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopic, transmission electron microscopic and thermal analyses. Results obtained in the present study indicate that the composites formed are with good crystallinity, homogeneity, reduced crystallite size and high phase purity. The present study encourages the direct formation of coupled semiconductor systems by a relatively simple and low-cost synthetic procedure described.
