A process for the manufacture of NiO and Ni nanostructures

A method for producing α-Ni (OH) Includes dissolving a salt of nickel (II) in a liquid dihydric alcohol, which is miscible with water, wherein the liquid dihydric alcohol is initially present in addition to the water of crystallization, which in the selected nickel (II) salt, no water, wherein the solution Ni (II) ions, Precipitation of Ni (II) ions as nickel hydroxide from the alcohol solution by adding a base to the solution, and Separating the Nickelhydroxidprazipitats from the mother solution (OH)
