Abstract

In this paper, we have reported the nickel hydroxide Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles synthesized by electrolysis method using NaOH, and sodium citrate 0.3 M . Therefore, the synthesis method is determining the size and shape of Nickel Hydroxide nanoparticles obtained. The results obtained were characterized with X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Hexagonal Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles with high purity were prepared successfully using electrolysis method with NaOH concentration 0.3 M at voltage 55 volt, the peaks in the sample similar with peak Ni(OH)2 International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICCD) card number 177, the results of SEM obtained nanoparticles size of 1mikro m.
