Effect of reaction time on structural, morphology and optical properties of ZnO nanoflakes prepared by chemical bath deposition method

Effect of microwave power on energy gap of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by microwaving through aqueous solutions

“…Differrent morphologies of ZnO structures such as nanorods [1][2][3], nanowires [4,5], hollow spheres [6], hammershaped particles [7], nanocubes [8], nanoparticles [9,10], tetrapod [11], nanotubes [12,13] and nanocrystals [10,14] have been synthesized by both chemical and physical methods: sol-gel process [15][16][17], hydrothermal process [18][19][20], thermal evaporation [3,7,9,11], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [6,21,22], ultrasonicassisted synthesis [8,14,23] and microwave radiation [24][25][26][27].…”

Microwave-assisted synthesis of ZnO nanoflakes: structural, optical and dielectric characterization

“…Shinde et al [43] calculated band gap for ZnO nanoflakes 3.09 eV. However, Molefe et al [44] calculated the forbidden band gap for ZnO nanoflakes as 3.91 eV by a chemical bath deposition method. This value is higher than our calculated E g value.…”

Structural studies of ZnO nanostructures by varying the deposition parameters

“…The CBD method has several advantages such as the use of simple equipment, cost effective, less hazardous and the low-temperature reaction. The low reaction temperature makes this method attractive, and the particle properties such as morphology and size can be controlled via the CBD process by adjusting the synthesizing time [4]. As far as the CBD growth of ZnO nanorods is concerned, using hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) ensures high crystallinity and good morphological property of ZnO nanorods, as compared with other reducing agents [5].…”
