摘要
The formation and electrical properties of high surface area NiO/Al2O3 nanocomposite materials with composition ranging from 5 to 30% w/w have been studied. The temperature dependence of the DC electrical resistivity was monitored in the temperature range 350-600 K. The results revealed correlation between electrical resistivity and textural properties. The conductivity results were discussed in terms of variable-range-hopping mechanism.
