Nanoparticles have wide application in the field of material science. These tiny particles have great surface area and inherent properties found to be applicable in various sections of science and technology. The present research focuses on the synthesis of nanoparticles such as CO3O4 and NiO. The nanomaterials of CO3O4 and NiO were prepared by Co-precipitation method and sol-gel method respectively, subsequently the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, from which the calculated size of CO3O4 and NiO by Scherrer formula found to be 30.17 nm and 10.88 nm respectively. These materials were also subjected to SEM analysis for studying the morphological properties. The EDS shows the basic elemental composition of prepared nanoparticles of CO3O4 and NiO. The average nanoparticles size found to be in the range of 30.0 nm to 64.4 nm. The material was also applied for gas sensitivity performance of ethylalcohol and observed the sensitivity at 100°C.
