"effect of calcination temperature on synthesized ZnO nanoparticles"

Abstract

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method and their applications for conducting devices. ZnO nanoparticles were prepared with two reacting media, namely water and ethylene glycol and annealed for at 300oC and 400oC for one hour. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were about the average crystalline size of 16nm and 11nm at room temperature was confirmed by XRD Studies. The microstructural variations were confirmed in FT-IR studies. The UV-Vis Absorption spectra of ZnO nanoparticles exhibit the characteristic peak of ZnO.
