Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activities of Ni/ZnO nanocomposites using bis(salicylaldehyde) complex precursor

A simple and one-pot glycothermal method was developed for the synthesis of Ni/ZnO nanocomposites. Ethylene glycol, zinc and nickel complexes were utilized as a solvent and new precursors to prepare Ni/ZnO nanocomposites, respectively. The effect of different reaction time and temperature were examined in order to approach to the optimal sample. The Ni/ZnO nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Transmission...
