Abstract
Zinc aluminate, a widely employed wide bandgap semiconductor, boasts exceptional mechanical and thermal properties, coupled with a high quantum yield. Its versatile applications include photocatalytic pollutant degradation, utilization in displays, and contributions to the medicinal field. However, challenges arise during synthesis processes, where high-temperature annealing reduces nanoparticle surface area, and cation contamination from precursors impacts material purity. In response to these challenges, green synthesis methods incorporating plant extracts as reductants have emerged to yield higher-quality phosphors. In this study, the focus is on microwave synthesis of Zinc Aluminate using Zinc Nitrate and Aluminum Nitrate in varying ratios as precursors. Comprehensive structural and optical characterizations, including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy (PL), have been conducted to assess the influence of precursor molar ratios on the spinel growth and optimization of the synthesis process.
