Abstract

NiMoO(4) nanorods have been successfully synthesized by sonochemical method process by using Ni(CH(3)COO)(2) · 4H(2)O and (NH(4))(6)Mo(7)O(24) · 4H(2)O as starting materials. Some parameters including ultrasonic power, ultrasonic irradiation time, stirring effect, solvent effect, and surfactant effect were investigated to reach optimum condition. The as synthesized nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). Facile preparation and separation are important features of this route. This work has provided a general, simple, and effective method to control the composition and morphology of NiMoO(4) in aqueous solution, which will be important for inorganic synthesis methodology.
