Abstract
The morphological and elemental characteristics of poly[ethylenediaminetetraacetato-aqua-disodium-nickel(II)] were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). SEM analysis revealed well-developed rod-like and prismatic crystals with smooth surfaces and distinct crystal facets, indicating high crystallinity and an ordered coordination framework.
