ABSTRACT
This
paper presents facile and rapid synthesis route of Ni nanoparticles at
approximately 180°C in the mixture composed of ethylene glycol (EG) with
hydrazine (N2H4) as a reducing agent. X-ray
diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that Ni2+ can
be reduced completely to Ni metal in 15 min. XRD analysis
also indicated that the as-synthesized nanoparticles were pure Ni with
face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that the sample with
heating duration of 15 min has the most narrow size distribution and the size
increased as the reaction time increased.

ABSTRAK
Kertas
ini melaporkan cara mudah dan pantas bagi menyediakan nanozarah Ni pada suhu
lebih kurang 180°C dalam campuran yang terdiri daripada etilena glikol (EG) dan hidrazina sebagai agen penurunan. Analisis XRD menunjukkan Ni2+ boleh diturunkan kepada logam Ni sepenuhnya
dalam masa 15 minit. Ia juga menunjukkan yang terhasil
adalah Ni berstruktur kubik bermuka pusat (kbm). Keputusan TEM menunjukkan bahawa sampel yang dipanaskan
dengan jangka masa 15 minit menghasilkan partikel dengan taburan saiz paling
kecil dan saiz bertambah dengan penambahan masa tindak balas.
