Abstract

Background: The metal oxide (M-O) ionic crystals such as NiO, PbO, CaO and MgO can be synthesized via mechanical alloying method apart from the solution techniques whose structures and spectroscopic properties are studied in recent patents.

Objectives: This work deals with the synthesis and characterization of NiO, PbO, CaO and MgO using mechanical ball milling method.

Method: The ball miller, X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, UV-Visible spectrometer, LCR controller were used to explain the synthesis, structural, morphological, optical and impedance spectroscopic properties, respectively.

Results and Conclusion: The diffraction study expressed the structure of nanomaterials. The surface morphology was examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopes. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum revealed the presence of metal oxide bonds in the whole diatomic structures. The ultra violet-visible spectra established the optical band gap energy. The dielectric constant and loss were also found. There are number of patents on these materials related to the applications in biomedical devices, magnets, microwave devices, etc. The impedance spectral studies attributed the grain conduction mechanism to NiO, PbO, CaO, and MgO samples.

Keywords: Optical properties, impedance spectroscopy, diffraction, nanoparticles, dielectric, mechanical ball milling.
