Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractORGANIC SOL-GEL METHOD IN THE SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLESKeanchuan Lee, Zulhilmi Akmal Saipolbahri, Beh Hoe Guan, Hassan SoleimaniNanosized Zinc Oxide (ZnO) was synthesized using sol-gel method. The nanomaterials with structure were annealed at different temperatures ranging from 500 to 700°C which were chosen based on the Thermogravimetric (TGA) Analysis. The structure and morphology were characterized by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), respectively. The PXRD shows the increasing tendency in crystallite size when the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 7 Apr 2014 · 7,296 accessesView PDFCite
