“…Figure2shows the XRD patterns of BN@ZnO particles prepared by the sol-gel method. The characteristic peaks of ZnO located at 2θ = 31.84 ,34.50 , 36.33 , 47.65 , 56.73 , 63.01 , 68.11 are indexed to (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103), and (112) crystal plane indices, which is consistent with the standard card JCPDS#75-0576 37. The sharp and narrow characteristic peaks indicate good crystallinity of ZnO.…”
