Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc Oxide Hollow and Flower like Microspheres by Simple One Step Solvothermal Approach

Article Preview

Abstract:

Zinc oxide with spherical shaped and flower shaped morphology are prepared by simple one step solvothermal method. The product is subjected to characterization to investigate the morphology and size by using X ray diffraction , semi electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The size of the prepared zinc oxide particle is in the range of 1 micrometer to 3 micrometers. The outer surface of the particles is not smooth but it is rough. The possible formation mechanism for the product is investigated that is further justified by means of structural characterization.
