Abstract
In this work, nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) have been synthesized via photo irradiation as a novel method. It is a simple and cost effective method. The average particle size and morphology were examined by AFM, TEM, SEM and the crystallinity was estimated by XRD analysis and the strength of magnetic field of samples were measured by using gaussmeter device. XRD studies confirm the nickel oxide nanoparticles have a high degree of crystallinity nature. Their particle size of nickel oxide was found about 12nm. The values inhibition zone indicates that nanoparticles effect on different bacteria. The outcome considered a new synthesis of NiO nanoparticles to promise antimicrobial agents against bacteria.
