Synthesis, characterization and magnetic properties of NiS_(1+x) nanocrystals from [bis(salicylidene)nickel(II)] as new precursor

摘要

[Bis(salicylidene)nickel(II)] was used as a precursor to prepare nickel sulfides nanoparticles of average size 20 nm by a chemical process in oleylamine. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelec-tron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Magnetization measurement indicates that both of the α-NiS and Ni_3S_4 nanoparticles show pramagnetism due to the size effect.
