Abstract

NiCr2O4 normal spinel nanostructures were prepared via hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C for 12 h in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and poly vinylpyrrolidone-25000 (PVP-25000) as capping agents and subsequent calcination process at 500 °C for 3 h . In this method, [Ni(en)2(H2O)2](NO3)2 and [Cr(en)3]Cl3.3H2O used as precursors and not utilized any alkaline or precipitating agent. Detailed characterization of  the as-prepared nanostructures were carried out by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). XRD revealed the formation of pure nickel chromite spinel phase and SEM showed the formation of uniform sphere-like nanoparticles. Furthermore, the photocatalytic degradation of acid black 1 as diazo dye used in textile and dyeing water pollutants was Investigated.
