Effects of Solvents on ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesis via Sol–gel Method

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been prepared by the sol-gel method at different solvent (methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOh) and distilled water) and at different calcination temperatures (700 °C, 800 °C and 900 °C). The phase and microstructure of the prepared ZnO powder were investigated. ZnO powder we...

description Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been prepared by the sol-gel method at different solvent (methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOh) and distilled water) and at different calcination temperatures (700 °C, 800 °C and 900 °C). The phase and microstructure of the prepared ZnO powder were investigated. ZnO powder were characterized by using XRD, EDX and FESEM. XRD analysis shows ZnO exhibited a hexagonal (wurtzite) structure with crystallite sizes 34.146 nm, 34.283 nm, and 34.523 nm and FESEM micrographs show that synthesized ZnO has a nanorod-like structure with an average particle size, 113.716 nm, 125.825 nm, and 141.725 nm for solvent methanol, ethanol and distilled water and calcination temperature of 700 °C, 800 °C and 700 °C respectively. The obtained ZnO nanoparticles are homogenous and consistent in size, corresponding to the XRD results that exhibit good crystallinity. EDX analysis shows pure ZnO with different solvents at 700 °C calcination temperatures. The surface of the ZnO also exhibits elements of O and Zn. This result has confirmed that the ZnO nanoparticles has high purity. Based on the analysis from the XRD and FESEM test, the best solvent with the best calcination temperature has been chosen, which is Methanol at 700 °C.
