Abstract

The aim of this work was to study the effect of the applied chemical reaction stimulation method on the morphology and structural properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs). Various methods of chemical reaction induction were applied, including microwave, high potential, conventional resistance heater and autoclave-based methods. A novel, high potential-based ZnONPs synthesis method is herein proposed. Structural properties-phase purity, grain size-were examined with XRD methods, the specific surface area was determined using BET techniques and the morphology was examined using SEM. Based on the results, the microwave and autoclave syntheses allowed us to obtain the desired phase within a short period of time. The impulse-induced method is a promising alternative since it offers a non-equilibrium course of the synthesis process in an highly energy-efficient manner.
