In materials science, “green” synthesis has gained extensive attention as a reliable, sustainable, and eco-friendly protocol for synthesizing a wide range of nanomaterials including metal/metal oxides nanomaterials, hybrid materials, and bioinspired materials. As such, green synthesis is regarded as an important tool to reduce the destructive effects associated with the traditional methods of synthesis for nanoparticles commonly utilized in laboratory and industry. Nanoparticles are key components in the advancement of future energy technologies, thus, strategies for preparing nanoparticles enlarge volume by techniques that are cost-effective are required. Nickel oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by electrochemical reduction method using Sygizium cumini leaves extract as structure directing agent in an organic medium viz. The reduction process takes place over a period of 2 hrs. Such nanoparticles are prepared using simple electrolysis cell in which the sacrificial anode as a commercially available nickel metal sheet and platinum (inert) sheet act as a cathode. The parameters such as current density, solvent polarity and distance between electrodes are used to control the size of nanoparticles. The synthesized nickel oxide nanoparticles were characterized by using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, FE-TEM, SAED, etc.
