Effect of Various Reducing Agents On ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesis
Keywords:
Nanoparticles, Precursor, Reducing agents, sol-gel, XRDAbstract
In this study, ZnO nanoparticles are prepared by using sol-gel method. This method is used by many researchers because of its case of use, easily availability of apparatus, low cost and it is easy to perform. The aim of this research is to study the size of ZnO nanoparticles using different reducing agents like NaOH NH3OH or Triton X-100. The used chemicals are highly pure with AR grade. The precipitates were formed and annealed at a temperature of approx.10000C.The precipitate was collected and characterized by XRD analysis to calculate the crystalline size of the nanoparticles. Nanosized ZnO powder was successfully synthesized and XRD analysis reveal that crystalline size is independent of different reducing agents at 10000C. Also, the results obtained show that the sol-gel method can produce good-quality ZnO particles by using any reducing agents.
