AbstractZinc oxide nanopowders were synthesized by the simple sol–gel method from an ethanol solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate. Structural and surface morphological investigations were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectrophotometry analyses. XRD pattern showed that the zinc oxide […]
