Abstract: Nanoparticles of nickel Oxide has been synthesized by Sol-Gel method. In the first step Nanosols were prepared by dissolving metal salt in suitable Solvent. On Condensation Nanosols were converted into Nanostructured Gel. Prepared sample was characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTA Technique. The Size of Nickle Oxide nanoparticles was found to be 8.78 nm calculated by Debye-Scherrer Equation.
