Solution phase Synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with assistant of microwave radiation and study its

Abstract

ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized from solution phase of zinc acetate and ethanol in microwave oven. The time of preparation was decreased from several hours to several minutes due to using microwave oven.XRD of prepared ZnO Nanoparticles was study and show it has hexagonal ZnO phase with particles size in the range of 16 nm. Optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles was study using UV-vis spectrophotometer ,the absorption spectra shows the blue shift of energy band gap and by using effective mass model we estimate the particle size of ZnO powder which equal 7nm.
