Abstract:
Nanoparticles of magnesium oxide have been successfully synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method using MgCl2 and NaOH as precursors at room temperature. Structural characterizationswere carried out by means of X-ray diffraction and FTIR analysis. X-ray diffraction study confirms polycrystalline nature of MgO. The electrical resistivity of the magnesium oxide material decreases with increase in temperature confirming its semiconducting nature. The electrical resistivity of magnesium oxide at 373 K was found to be 2.79 Ω-cm.
