Abstract

Magnesium oxide (MgO) was synthesized by ultrasound assisted sol-gel method. The synthesized samples were characterized by various analytical techniques including X-Ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), SEM with (energy dispersive X-ray analysis) EDX, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM with EDX and XRD characterization studies confirmed that MgO particles thus obtained have hierarchical structures with high purity, and the particle sizes vary within the range of 30 nm to sev- eral µm. The particles are uniformly spherical in shape. The elements presented in the sample were found by EDX. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of Mg-O stretching in the sample. © Global Scientific Publishers 2013
