“…A lot of synthetic method have been introduced to synthesize NiO nanoparticles [10], such as sol-gel method [11], spray pyrolysis [12], sputtering [13], microemulsion method [14] and hydrothermal technique [15]. Different from the above synthesis techniques, the hot-injection method has some advantages such as simple process, less hazardous, relatively mild condition, low cost [16], and easily to produce high purity products. Moreover, it is excellent that the synthesized nanoparticles have good uniformity and monodispersity.…”
