Fabrication and Coagulation Phenomena of ZnO Microsphere Particles

Abstract:

The uniform ZnO microsphere particles with a diameter of 390nm were synthesized by two-step method (also named seed solution method) projected by Eric W. Seelig. The chemical reaction details in the container were analyzed and the generation mechanism of ZnO microsphere particles was studied. ZnO films were prepared by vertical deposition. Coagulation phenomena occurred during the reaction process. The reaction conditions of coagulation phenomena were summarized and given reasonably explanations.
