Abstract

In this work, we have investigated the chemical and phase composition, surface morphology, structural, microstructural, and optical properties of NiO nanocrystals and thin films which were obtained using the solgel synthesis method and 3D printing technique, respectively. To optimize their structural properties, the samples were annealed at temperatures of 300–550 °C in the ambient atmosphere for 60 min. Then, they were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and low-temperature photoluminescence. Using these methods, we determined the main structural parameters of the films, such as texture, lattice parameters, CSR, and crystallite sizes, as well as the level of microstrains depending on the annealing temperature and time. In addition, the nature of recombination processes, optical quality and features of the energy structure of NiO nanocrystals were also studied. The obtained results show that NiO nanomaterials are promising for application in solar cells and flexible oxide electronics.
