Nanostructured electrode materials exhibit more attractive properties compared to electrodes materials. NiO has been considered as one of the promising potential electrode materials due to its large surface area, high conductivity, environmental friendliness and its low cost. In this study NiO nanoparticles have been synthesized by microwave assisted solvothermal method. Analytical grade Nickel acetate, Urea and Ethylene Glycol are used as precursors. The prepared sample was annealed at 300oC,400oC&500 °C for 1 hr. The structural properties were investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques.XRD result shows that the annealed NiO sample exhibited cubic crystalline structure with crystallite size of 7nm,11nm & 20 nm. The functional group analysis of the sample was studied by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The magnetic behavior of the samples was studied by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and the results show that the NiO samples are ferromagnetic in nature at room temperature.
