Ni-CeO spherical nanostructures for magnetic and electrochemical supercapacitor applications.

The synthesis of nanoparticles has great control over the structural and functional characteristics of materials. In this study, CeO and Ni-CeO spherical nanoparticles were prepared using a microwave-assisted method. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized via thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV).
