ABSTRACT

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using the polyol method with ethylene glycol containing hydroxyl groups (-OH). It was confirmed that the zinc compounds prepared by the polyol method were a mixture of zinc carbonatehydroxide (Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂) and zinc oxide (ZnO) crystalline structures. Calcination at 400°C, 600°C and 800°C was performed to examine the effects of calcination temperature on the particle size, morphology and crystallinity of zinc oxide. ZnO powders of calcination at 800°C was evaluated to particle size analysis from ethylene glycol containing precursor solution compared with distilled water based solution. The zinc oxide particles obtained from the former had a particle size of approximately 404 ± 51 nm, whereas those from the latter exhibited a more uniform nanoparticles morphology with aparticle size of approximately 109 ± 29 nm. This demonstrates that the addition of ethylene glycol can control the influence of water molecules, enabling the direct synthesis of zinc oxide in the form of uniform nanoparticles.
