Synthesis of Nano-ZnO by Chemical Method and its Characterization

SHAILESH K DHOKE

Abstract


Nanocrystals of ZnO were prepared by chemical method using Zn (II) acetate and potassium hydroxide as the starting materials and methanol as solvent. The material was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron diffraction analysis (EDS), UV-Visible spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering
analysis (DLS) and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The results indicated that the obtained ZnO material was in nano-dimension and possessed pure wurtzite hexagonal phase. High yield and purity of nano-ZnO can be obtained using this chemical synthesis method.
