Abstract

The magnesium hydroxide (Mg (OH)₂ nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using the sol-gel method and presented its results in this work. Various characterization methods have been used to confirm the successful preparation of Mg (OH)₂ NPs. The XRD analysis exhibited the hexagonal structure of the sample. FT-IR spectrum revealed the presence of metal-oxygen stretching of prepared magnesium hydroxide NPs. The SEM analysis shows that the synthesized Mg (OH)₂ NPs were clustered with a rough stacked surface. From the absorption peak obtained through UV-Vis spectroscopy, the bandgap energy of Mg (OH)₂ NPs was calculated as 2.70 eV.
