Abstrakt: An efficient sonochemical route for synthesis of nano sized zinc oxide is reported. The method employs zinc acetate and sodium hydroxide as precursors with isopropyl alcohol as a solvent. As prepared powders were characterized by XRD, SEM and FTIR. These show that the resulting powder is composed of multidomain crystallites of ZnO wurtzite, zincite and Zn(OH)2. The XRD-measured coherent domain size varies from about 20 to 30 nm, whereas SEM exhibits ≈ 200 nm crystallites. The wurtzite phase is found to dominate at sonication times smaller than ≈ 30 min. It is also found that the powders produced sonochemically exhibit smaller and narrower size-distributed particles compared to that in hydrothermally prepared powders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
