“…Nickel (II) oxide (NiO) and nickel (II) composites in meticulously have attracted substantial interest because of a broad range of applications, namely magnetic materials [17], photovoltaic [18] Li ion batteries [19], catalysis [20], gas sensors [21], p-type transparent conducting films, infrared detectors, storage oxygen materials, fuels cells, supercapacitors, ferromagnetic oxides, gas sensors and luminescence materials, photochromic materials, [22], electrochromic windows [23], biomedicine, desalination, waste water treatment, energy related fields, catalytic reduction, adsorption, photocatalytic reduction, degradation, magnetic material, reinforcing agents in composites [24,25]. Different methods have been reported for the synthesis of NiO, such as sol-gel [26], microemulsion [27], hydrothermal [28], co-precipitation, precipitation [29], sonochemical [15], microwave [30], metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), sputtering method [30], pulsed laser deposition (PLD), infrared irradiation, thermal decomposition, thermal evaporation and condensation [29,30].…”
