Abstract

In the present paper, nickel Oxide (NiO) thin film has been synthesized by galvanostatic electrodeposition method. The crystal structural and surface wettability study of NiO thin film was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) study and contact angle meter techniques. The XRD study reveals the cubic crystal structure of NiO thin film. The surface wettability study shows NiO thin film is hydrophilic in nature.
