Ni doped ZnO (Zn(1-x) Nix O, x = 0, 2, 4 and 6%) nanopowder have been synthesized by solution combustion method. Using Zinc nitrate Hexahydrate Zn(NO3)2.6H2O and Nickel nitrate Hexahydrate Ni(NO3)2.6H2O as oxidizer and glycine as fuel C2H5NO2. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) for phase analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for microstructure analysis and EDS for elemental analysis. Synthesized powder shows well crystalline behavior the formation of phase pure crystalline ZnO is confirmed as comparing the peaks with standard peaks of JCPDS (card no. 36-145). SEM shows the particles of irregular shape and size, they are randomly oriented agglomerated and the pores can also be observed. The crystallite size of the powder ranges between 23-25nm, when calculated using Scherer formula. EDX spectra confirmed the presence of Zn, O and Ni elements in composition of prepared samples.
