“…6) of carbon microspheres shows a broadband typical of an amorphous material with two main maximums at 2q ¼ 17 and 41 corresponding to (002) and (101) lattice planes of carbon. 27 Aer the calcination of the carbon microspheres, the diffractions at 2q ¼ 31.8 , 34.5 , 36.1 , 47.5 , 56.4 , 62.9 , 67.9 , and 69.0 correspond to ZnO crystalline planes: (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103), (112) and (001) (JCPDS 36-1451, Fig. 6).…”
