Abstract
The advent of nanotechnology has revolutionized the major sectors of science and technology. However, synthesis methodology plays a prime role in deciding the size, shape, and purity of nanoparticles. The sol-gel method of synthesis can control the size and morphology of nanoparticles. It is one of the simplest ways to produce nanoparticles in pure form from the bottom-up approach. In this study, silica nanoparticles were produced through the sol-gel method. Sodium silicate was used as precursor material, with ethanol as solvent. CTAB and Ammonia were used as catalyst and reducing agents respectively. The synthesis process was followed by 4 hours of calcination. The obtained nanoparticles were subjected to FESEM, EDAX, XRD, and PSD analysis. From the results, it is observed that the synthesized nanoparticles had an average diameter of 26nm.
