Preparation and Synthesis of ZnO Particles by Precipitation Method at Low Temperature
Keywords:
ZnO particles, low temperature precipitation, XRD, SEM, FTIR, UV
Abstract
Using zinc nitrate as a precursor and NaOH starch as a stabilizing agent, hexagonal zinc oxide (ZnO) particles has been synthesized by precipitation method at low temperature. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show particles of nearly uniform spherical size of around 10 to 20 nm. The infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) measurement reveals the peak at 500 cm−1, corresponding to the Zn-O bond. Thus the ZnO particles of nanostructure may be confirmed. UV studies reveal that the particles may be of micron size.
