Abstract
In this work, the compound semiconductor nanoparticles of Zinc Orthotitanate (Zn2TiO4) was prepared by solid state reaction method. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) are two of the most versatile semiconductor materials used as the starting material for this purpose. The particle size from the FESEM image was found in the range of 40–180 nm after solid state reaction which is in consistent with the particle size of ZnO and TiO2 grinded individually. The different structural, morphological and optical characterizations of this compound semiconductor Zn2TiO4 is already been reported. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) is one of the important techniques to characterize the aforementioned material in terms of its purity and stoichiometriness. But however, there is hardly any work reported in this direction. So in this work detail EDX study was used in order to determine the element composition that present in the sample. The result of EDX study revealed that the synthesized Zn2TiO4 nanoparticles were of high purity, which contains high Zn, Ti and O element composition. The mass percentages Zn, Ti and O closely match with the ideal value of Zn2TiO4 nanocomposite.
