Ferromagnetic Ni Nanostructures via Chemical Reduction Methods

Ramany Revathy, Manoj Raama Varma, Kuzhichalil Peethambharan Surendran

For the last couple of decades, nickel (Ni) nanostructures are in the focus of active research since they are widely applied in countless walks of modern life. But being tiny magnets, their synthesis in monodisperse form is extremely challenging. In this chapter, we review the recent trends in the synthesis of Ni through chemical reduction routes without the aid of magnetic field, hydrothermal environments, and templates. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized Ni nanostructures can easily be tailored by controlling the reaction conditions. Depending on particle size and morphology, these ferromagnetic nanomaterials have a wide variety of applications in various technological fields.
