The ZnO powder was successfully obtained by calcining the basic zinc carbonate, which was synthesized from clinker digestion solution of zinc oxide ore using analytical Na2CO3. The factors of mol ratio of Na2CO3to ZnSO4and reaction temperature were discussed at stirring intensity 400 rpm. Both the obtained basic zinc carbonate and ZnO powders were characterized using XRD, EDS and SEM. The thermal decomposition of basic zinc carbonate was also investigated below 600°C. The results show that the ZnO powder was wurzite hexagonal structure and the well-crystallized ZnO powder was uniformly spherical particles and distributed in a narrow range.

Zinc acetate and ammonium bicarbonate are used as raw material, zinc oxide prepared by direct precipitation of new technology. This paper discusses the effection of the formation in zinc oxide from the reactant concentration of zinc acetate, HCO3-/Zn2+ molarity ratio, reaction temperature, reaction time and condition in thermal decomposition of basic zinc carbonate. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric / differential thermal analysis (TG / DTA) and other methods, preparation of nano-ZnO are characterized. Good conditions for the better system of nano- ZnO are 0.75mol /L in the concentration of zinc acetate solution, 2.5:1 in bicarbonate of ammonia and zinc acetate molar ratio, 45 °C of reaction temperature, 1.0h of reaction time, and 350 °C in thermal decomposition temperature, 3.0h of pyrolysis time. Zinc oxide obtained average particle size is 20 ~ 80nm, for the hexagonal crystal form.

The paper presents a method for obtaining nanoparticles of ZnO by thermal decomposition of the Zn-containing compounds. The experiment was based on the thermal decomposition of basic zinc carbonate to zinc oxide (with a content of 58-61 wt.%). Basic zinc carbonate was analysed by derivatography and then annealed at a selected temperature (about 600ºC) for about 1 h. Products of thermal decomposition of the compound were studied by XRD analysis and SEM scanning microscopy.

An electrogenerated zinc oxide (EGZnO/Naph) nanoparticle was successfully synthesized by electrolysis of a N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution containing naphthalene and a supporting electrolyte in a one-compartment cell fitted with a platinum cathode and a zinc anode. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies showed that the EGZnO/Naph consists of pure single crystalline wurtzite of hexagonal structure with average diameters of 10-15 nm. The BET surface area of the EGZnO/Naph was 65 m2/g, which is 15 times larger than that of commercial ZnO powder. The zinc oxide was also confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results which showed vibrational bands at 500 and 434 cm−1. Furthermore, the absorption peak of the EGZnO/Naph obtained at 366 nm (3.35 eV), is very close to the band gap of the ZnO 1s–1s electron transition (3.37 eV). Based on these results, this study reports a new pathway to synthesize nanosize of ZnO particle using a simple electrochemical process.________________________________________GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

The nanocrystalline ZnO powders were synthesized by a direct thermal decomposition using zinc acetate dihydrate as starting materials. The precursor was characterized by TG-DTA to determine the thermal decomposition and crystallization temperature which was found to be at 300 °C. The precursors were calcined at different temperatures of 400, 500, and 600 °C for 4 h. The structure of the prepared samples was studied by XRD, confirming the formation of wurtzite structure. The synthesized powders exhibited the UV absorption below 400 nm (3.10 eV) with a well defined absorption peak at around 285 nm (4.35 eV). The estimated direct bandgaps were obtained to be 3.19, 3.16, and 3.14 eV for the ZnO samples thermally decomposed at 400, 500, and 600°C, respectively.

The Fourier and variance methods are used to analyse the breadths of X-ray diffraction peaks from ZnO powder obtained from the thermal decomposition of Zn3(OH)4(NO3)2. The shape, size, distribution of size and orientation of the crystallites are determined. It is found that the form is markedly anisotropic and that on average the crystallites may be regarded as cylinders with a diameter of about 110 Å and height about 240 Å, but that they are in fact right prisms whose cross section is an irregular hexagon. There is excellent agreement between the experimental results and the predictions of line-broadening theory, with quantitative confirmation from electron micrographs of the sample.

The nanocrystalline ZnO powders were synthesized by a direct thermal decomposition using zinc nitrate hexahydrate as starting materials. The precursor was characterized by TG-DTA to determine the thermal decomposition and crystallization temperature which was found to be at 325 oC.

In this study, ZnO films, prepared by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD), are applied as the conductive layers for thin film solar cells. Zinc acetate is used as a source of zinc, and different proportions of ammonia solution are added and well mixed. The growth of zinc oxide films in reaction solutions is taken place at 80°C and then heated to 500°C for one hour. In this study, the different ammonia concentrations and deposition times is controlled. The thin film structure is Hexagonal structure, which is determined by X-ray diffraction spectrometer (XRD) analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used as the observation of surface morphology, the bottom of the film is the interface where the heterogeneous nucleation happens. With the increase of deposition time, there were a few attached zinc oxide particles, which is formed by homogeneous nucleation. According to UV / visible light (UV / Vis) absorption spectrometer transmittance measurements and the relationship between/among the incident wavelength, it can be converted to the energy gaps (Eg), which are about 3.0 to 3.2eV, by using fluorescence spectroscopy analysis. The emission of zinc oxide films has two wavelengths which are located on 510nm and 570nm. According to Based on the all analytic results, the ammonia concentration at 0.05M, and the deposition time is 120 minutes, would obtain the conditions of ZnO films which is more suitable for applications of conductive layer material in thin film solar cell.
