This report basically discusses the preliminary research done and basic understanding of the chosen topic, which is the "Synthesis of ZnO-NiO nanoparticle using solidvapor phase thermal sublimation method". This project will apply solid-vapor phase thermal sublimation method to synthesis ZnO-NiO nanoparticle, to study and characterize the effect of differentratios of ZnO-NiO used in determining its physicochemical properties, study and characterize the effect of different calcinations temperatures ofZnO-NiO used in determining its physico-chemical properties, and to study the effect of introducing NiO to ZnO towards the electrical properties of zinc oxide. For this study, ZiO and NiO is prepared via solid-vapor phase thermal sublimation method. The chemicals used are Zinc Chloride and Nickel(ii)Nitrate which will be mixed with distilled water and it will undergo heating and stirring process on a hot plate. The ratio of Zinc Chloride with Nickel (ii) Nitrate will be varied to study the effect ofusing different concentrations of mixed solution. Then the mixed solution will undergo reflux process and will be put in an oven for drying process. The dried solution will be transferred in a furnace for solid-vapor phase thermal sublimation process to produce ZiO-NiO nanoparticle. The furnace temperatures will be varied to study the relation of heat treatment with formation of catalyst. The textural and morphological of the nanoparticle will be tested with XRD,SEM and Uv-Vis will be conducted to study the nanoparticle's electrical properties. in
