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. 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.

AbstractTemperature dependency of densities of the liquid system magnesium nitrate hexahydrate - zinc nitrate hexahydrate was measured. Densities of liquid mixtures were experimentally measured at different temperatures by a method using submersible corpuscle. Based on the obtained data, temperature dependence on the density was obtained. A model describing the density in the whole concentration range very well was created.

In this paper, we used RF sputter to deposit the ZnO seed layer of 0.6 μm in thickness, which was then immersed in zinc nitrate hexahydrate [Zn(NO3)2•6H2O] and hexamethylenetetramine (C6H12N4) mixture solution of different concentrations for the growth of ZnO nanorods by hydrothermal method. After annealing at different temperatures, thermal field emission scanning electron microscope (TFSEM) was used to observe the arrangement and growth of ZnO nanorods. We found the concentration of the mixture solution of C6H12N4 and Zn(NO3)2•6H2O would affect the thickness and crystallization of ZnO nanorods, and the annealing temperature would change their columnar arrangement structure. The arrangement structure of the ZnO nanorods grown in the mixture solution of 0.2M concentration had more gaps and pores. Under this condition, we successfully fabricated a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), of which the performance could be further improved by using ZnO nanorods prepared by many different methods.

This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of graphene/zinc oxide nanocomposites. Wet impregnation method was employed for the synthesis. Firstly, graphene nanoplatelets and zinc nitrate hexahydrate were concurrently dispersed in ethanol and subjected to sonication for 1 h. Then, the dispersion was put in a furnace at 70 °C overnight. The paste was then collected and heated further up to 400 °C in air for a duration of 4 h. The process was proceeded to yield insoluble nanocomposites. The synthesis was followed by characterization of the nanocomposite samples by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The XRD pattern revealed the presence of ZnO crystals and graphene. The FESEM images showed that ZnO crystals with average particle size of 30 nm are uniformly distributed on graphene surfaces. According to the TGA result, the content of nanocomposites is in good agreement with the materials used during synthesis.

ZIF - 8 material has been successfully synthesized through a reaction between zinc nitrate hexahydrate with 2 - metilimidazol in the dimethylformamide solvent in solvotermal condition. Synthesis process is carried out at 120oC for 24 hours . The results show that the characterization by XRD diffractogram synthesized ZIF - 8 has a characteristic peak at 2θ = 7.4o; 12.7o; 16.5oand 18.0ocorresponding to the characteristic peaks of ZIF - 8 standard . The results of ZIF - 8 templated carbon show the XRD pattern of amorphous carbon material, while the carbon activated KOH show peak K2CO3at 2θ = 31.6o. FTIR spectra of synthesized ZIF - 8 has a absorption peak at 420; 760 ; 990 ; 1147 and 1585 cm-1which is the characteristic absorption peak of ZIF-8 solids. Then ZIF - 8 characteristic peaks disappear after activated with KOH. Morphology of the ZIF-8 has plumage regular rectangular in shape , and morphology of the resulting carbon particles are also the same rectangular shape with ZIF-8 template.
