Sonochemical Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and its Applications
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
This work is to synthesize Zinc Oxide nanoparticles using ultrasound using Sonication probe with Zinc Acetate as the reagent. These sonochemically synthesized Zinc Oxide nanoparticles are crystalline structure and the morphology of synthesized Zinc Oxide nanoparticles were observed using powder X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infra-Red analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy. The optical properties of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles are characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy. X Ray Diffraction results shows the sonochemically prepared Zinc Oxide sample is highly crystalline in nature and having wurtzite crystal structure. Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectra peak is 417.52 cm-1 which is the characteristic absorption bands of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles. UV-Visible absorption spectrum shows that a typical spectrum for Zinc Oxide nanoparticles. The Scanning Electron Microscope image shows that Zinc Oxide nanoparticles prepared in this study are spherical in shape with smooth surface. And the prepared Zinc Oxide nanoparticles are used for the application of textile industry. Here, Zinc Oxide nanowires are grown on cotton fabric to impart self-cleaning, super hydrophobicity and ultraviolet light blocking properties.
