«Low-Temperature Growth of ZnO Nanoparticles by Using Autoclave»
0177–0188 (2021)

PACS numbers: 61.05.cp, 61.46.Hk, 78.20.Ci, 78.30.Fs, 78.40.Fy, 78.67.Bf, 81.16.Be

Zinc-oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by using an easy, cheap, and rapid green method, namely, hydrothermal method with the assistance of stainless-steel autoclave at two different temperatures (100\(^{\circ}\)C and 150\(^{\circ}\)C), and their structural, optical, and chemical properties are investigated. XRD analysis identified the hexagonal wurtzite-type structure of ZnO nanoparticles as well as indicated that the crystallite size increased from 10.08 nm to 37 nm along with the elevated growth temperature from 100\(^{\circ}\)C to 150\(^{\circ}\)C. The transmittance spectra showed a sharp decrease in the transmittance after crossing a certain wavelength that was the strong evidence of cut-off wavelength for the transmittance of ZnO nanoparticles. The observed band gaps from the Tauc plot were of 3.60 eV and 3.05 eV at growth temperature 100\(^{\circ}\)C and 150\(^{\circ}\)C, respectively. The FTIR spectrum showed the incomplete removal of organic solvent. However, more organic-solvent presence was observed at high growth temperature indicating existence of more impurity compared to lower growth temperature.

Keywords: ZnO nanoparticles, hydrothermal method, autoclave, optical properties, XRD, FTIR
