Determination Some Structural Characteristic of the Compound NiSnO3

Abstract

Nickel stanate (NiSnO₃) was synthesized by a chemical precipitation method. The synthesized samples were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction technology  (XRD). The temperature of synthesis was 700°C.  Muller indexes (hkl) were calculated  for the production, and it was clear that , the compound crystallized according to hexagonal lattice with following parameters a=5.1879 (A⁰), c=14.2209 (A⁰),

V= 331.4777(A⁰)³. The space group of symmetry is R3c. The IR spectroscopy encourage our results during the bonding vibrations of Zn-O, Ni-O.The thermal characteristic shows four endothermic effects.

Keywords: crystal structure, mixed oxides, Nickel stanate.
