Abstract

Rose-like NiO structures were fabricated by calcining the solvothermally formed α-Ni(OH)2 structure with similar morphology. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The rose-like α-Ni(OH)2 nanostructure was an aggregation of nanoparticles with a size of ca. 3–4 nm. The decolorization of acid fuchsine solution was studied using prepared NiO as the catalyst and commercial P25 as the reference. The degradation products were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The product exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than P25.
