Abstract | ||||
In the present work, Orthorhombic NiS nanoparticles were obtained by simple chemical method using thiocarbohydrazide as a sulfur source. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern was indicated the formation of orthorhombic structure of NiS, energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques, High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques were employed to study the chemical composition and morphology properties of the obtained sample. Crystallite size was determined by Debye—Scherrer formula and was found to be 15.76 nm. The EDS spectrum confirms the purity of the prepared nanoparticles. Optical analyses were done by UV—visible. The band gap was calculated by Tauc relation and was found to be 4.702 eV. | ||||
