Abstract
This study provides the findings of a novel synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles by hydrothermal method. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using different organic solvents such as ethylene glycol (EG) and citric acid (CA) as a reaction medium. Utilizing X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, the formed nanoflower and nanosphere zinc oxide were characterized. The studies' findings showed that the solvents controlled the dimension and morphology of the formed nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of the ZnO, and the crystallite size (Scherrer method) of the produced nanoflowers and nanospheres was found to be 46.18 nm and 31.72 nm, respectively. It was evident from the peak of the FT-IR spectrum between 432 and 551 cm-1 that the ZnO phase is contained in the produced nanoparticles. Using Rietveld refinement analysis, it has been found that the ZnO phase is almost 100 % pure.
期刊介绍：
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
