Synthesis of Nano-ZnO by Chemical Method and its Characterization
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.
