Abstract
Li(x)Ni(1−x)O (x = 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03) samples were synthesized via the sol-gel process. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirms the formation of Li(x)Ni(1−x)O (x = 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03) series. Powder X-ray diffraction technique was used for the analysis of crystallite properties. The mean crystallite size using Scherrer’s Method has been found as 21.66 nm, 20.09 nm, and 19.25 nm for Li(x)Ni(1−x)O (x = 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03) respectively, which is a rough estimate. To inspect the impact of strain induced in Li(x)Ni(1−x)O further analysis has been done. Willamson Hall Plot-Uniform Deformation Model (WH-UDM), Size-Strain (SSP), and Halder-Wagner Plot (H–W) Models were applied to determine physical and microstructural parameters i.e. crystallite size and lattice strain of Li(x)Ni(1−x)O (x = 1%, 2%, and 3%) using X-ray powder diffraction analysis. The morphology of Li(x)Ni(1−x)O (x = 1%, 2%, and 3%) has been analyzed by High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM). The outcomes of estimated mean crystallite size determined by Scherrer’s Method, WH-UDM Plot, SSP, and W–H models were compared with morphologically investigated crystallite size via TEM analysis.
