Solvothermal synthesis of microsphere ZnO nanostructures in DEA media

Controlled synthesis of nano-ZnO via hydro/solvothermal process and study of their optical properties

“…Recently, Razali et al [22] fabricated ZnO microsphere by solvothermal approach using zinc acetate (Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 ·2H 2 O) as zinc sources, ethanol and diethanolamine (DEA) were used as starting materials. Sarkar et al [23] prepared the ZnO nanostructures with nanowire morphologies by the solvothermal method.…”

Investigations on Photoluminescence Properties of Nanocrystalline Zno Particles Synthesized by Sol-Gel Route.

“…However, there is a compromise in the development of a method for preparing low cost ZnO-NPs on a large scale and with high crystalline quality for optoelectronic application. Recently, several new ways have been developed to synthesize ZnO-NPs, such as the sonochemical method [8], oxidation process [9], sol-gel synthesis [10], a polymerization method [11], precipitation [12,13], solvothermal and hydrothermal methods [14][15][16], CVD [17,18], laser ablation [19] and sol-gel-combustion [20]. In general, the preparation of nanoparticles is a complicated process, and a wide variety of different variables may affect the properties of the final product.…”

Synthesis of Zinc Oxide/Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites as Antibacterial Materials Against Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli

“…However, ZnO particles aggregate easily in solution due to van der Waals forces and surface effects [14]. Therefore, the surface of ZnO particles must be modified with an organic reagent or stable polymers to decrease aggregation [15].…”
