SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ZNO NANOPARTICLES WITH ZINC CHLORIDE AS ZINC SOURCE

Abstract

ZnO nanoparticles Synthesized by precipitating Zinc Chloride have been characterized Optically and Structurally. XRD is used for the structural characterization where the lattice constant was determined as a=b=3.2492A, c=5.20661 A with hexagonal structure and crystallite size as~5.3689 . UV-vis spectrometer was used to obtain UV-vis absorption spectrum where excitonic peaks were obtained at wavelength of 277 nm and 235 nm.
