Popis: Several important synthetic parameters such as precursor concentration, reaction time are found to determine the growth of ZnO nanostructures. These reaction parameters can be tuned to produce a variety size of nanostructures. In this work we show the importance of these parameters on the size of synthesized zinc oxide nano-powders. ZnO nanoparticles are synthesized by the solid-state reaction using ZnSO4·7H2O and NaOH as the reagents. In this method Zn(OH)2 is the intermediate product of the reaction, we show that by adjusting the molar ratio of the reagents and grinding time, we can be removed this unwanted component in the final product so for obtaining pure ZnO nanostructures the calcinations process is not necessary, also we can tune the size of ZnO nanoparticles. XRD spectra of the nanoparticles demonstrate typical diffraction peaks of a well-crystalline Wurtzite ZnO structure transmission electron microscopic observations show that these nanoparticles are of hexagonal phase ZnO mostly in round shapes and he composition analysis by EDX indicate that final product is pure ZnO. In the optimum conditions by XRD analysis we see that the mean grain size of synthesized zinc oxide nano-particles is about 44 nm.
