Abstract

The sequence of phase transformations of zinc hydroxide compounds with various chemical histories during hydrothermal (HT) treatment is studied by X-ray powder diffraction and thermal analysis (TG/DTA). ɛ-Zn(OH) 2 (wulfingite) is the major intermediate in ZnO production by the HT process. The micromorphology and photocatalytic activity of ZnO powders are studied.
