摘要

Bare and lithium-doped NiO nanocrystals were prepared through a simple precipitation method without any capping agents. The effects of Li⁺ doping on structural, morphological, magnetic, and electrochemical properties were carefully studied. XRD analysis revealed cubic, well-crystalline phases for the prepared samples, with small peak shifts and crystallite size differences confirming successful lattice combination of lithium. FE-SEM imaging displayed that Li⁺ insertion significantly alters particle shape and aggregation. VSM characterization confirmed room-temperature ferromagnetism in highly doped NiO samples. Electrochemical measurements revealed reduced specific capacitance in all doped nanomaterials, demonstrating that Li substitution impairs charge storage. Nevertheless, the improved properties of Li-doped NiO nanocrystals suggest potential for spintronic and supercapacitor applications.
