Effect of Zinc Nitrate on Morphology and Particle Size of Nano-sized Zinc Oxide

Abstract

Zinc oxide nanostructures were synthesized by chemical route method. The XRD spectrum indicates that the sample is wurtezite (hexagonal) structured ZnO with lattice constants of a = 3.249A0, c = 5.206 A0. The crystallinity and structure of these ZnO nanostructures were studied by X-ray diffraction. The morphologies of these synthesized nanostructures were analyzed by transmission electron microscope. Effects of concentration of zinc nitrate during synthesis on the morphology and particle size of resultant product were investigated
