Zinc oxide micropowder was synthesized by a microwave-assisted method. Zinc nitrate and ammonium hydroxide were used as the starting precursors with the mole ratio of 1:1. The white precipitated powder was formed after adding ammonium hydroxide until the pH of final solution was 9 and treated with the microwave radiation power at 1000 Watt for 2-6 min. The phase of zinc oxide micropowder was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). A single phase of hexagonal structure was obtained. The morphology and chemical composition of zinc oxide micropowder were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The particle was plate-like in shape with the range of particle size of 0.1-0.5 µm. The elemental composition of zinc oxide showed the characteristic X-ray energy value as follows: zinc of Lα = 1.012 keV, Kα = 8.630 keV and Kβ = 9.570 keV and oxygen of Kα = 0.525 keV, respectively.

The effect of different variables (precursor reagents, temperature, irradiation time, microwave radiation power, and additives addition) on the final morphology of nano-ZnO obtained through the microwave assisted technique has been investigated. The characterization of the samples has been carried out by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) in transmission mode, infrared (FTIR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that all the above-mentioned variables influenced to some extent the shape and/or size of the synthetized nanoparticles. In particular, the addition of an anionic surfactant (sodium di-2-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate (AOT)) to the reaction mixture allowed the synthesis of smaller hexagonal prismatic particles (100 nm), which show a significant increase in UV absorption.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) microtube has been fabricated by heating the mixture of ZnO and graphite powders in the atmosphere. The ZnO microtubes showed perfect hexagonal profiles with bell-mouth or normal hexagonal tops. Both X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that the product was composed of ZnO with typical hexagonal structure grown predominantly along (002) direction. The growth process was interpreted by means of vaporliquid-solid mechanism combining with the evaporation of metallic zinc.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) microparticle was synthesized by hydrothermal route using zinc acetate and ammonium hydroxide as the starting precursors in the mole ratio of 1:6. The final mixture solution was adjust with pH of 9 and treated in PTFE-line autoclave at 100 oC for 2, 4 and 6 h. The precipitate was washed with deionized water until the final pH solution of 7 and then dried at 100 oC for 4h. The phase structure was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). A single phase hexagonal structure was obtained without calcination step. Microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The particle size of ZnO was in the range of 0.15-1.5 µm with irregular in shape. The chemical composition was identified by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The elemental composition of ZnO showed the characteristic X-ray energy value as follows: zinc of Lα = 1.012 keV, Kα = 8.630 keV and Kβ = 9.570 keV and oxygen of Kα = 0.525 keV, respectively.

Zinc Oxide and Glucose capped Zinc Oxide nanoparticles have been prepared using modified chemical reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the prepared samples possess polycrystalline nature with hexagonal structure. Surface morphology has been analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The estimated value of band gap was found to be 3.41 and 3.87 eV for Zinc Oxide and Glucose capped ZnO respectively. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopic analysis has been carried out to find the chemical bond and elemental composition present in Zinc Oxide and Glucose capped Zinc Oxide.

Calcium oxide ( CaO ) is an important inorganic compound, which is used across various industries as catalyst, toxic-waste remediation agent, adsorbent, etc. CaO nanoparticles were obtained by the microwave irradiation technique, using Ca(NO3)2 ⋅ 4H2O and NaOH as starting materials. The formation of monocrystalline CaO nanoparticles was confirmed by the XRD (X-ray diffraction) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) as well as by SAED (selected area electron diffraction) analysis. The structure of the CaO nanocrystal was found to be cubic with particle size, 24 nm and surface area, 74 m2/g.

Zinc titanate (ZnTiO3) powder was prepared by the coprecipitation oxalate method. Zinc nitrate and titanium (IV) isopropoxide were used as the starting materials with the mole ratio of Zn:Ti was 1:1. Oxalic acid and ammonium hydroxide were added into the mixed solution. Precipitated powder was obtained after the final pH of solution was 5. The fined powder was washed with deionized water, filtered, dried at 100 oC for 2h, and followed by the calcination at 500, 700 and 900 oC for 2h. The phase of ZnTiO3 powder was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Hexagonal and cubic phase of ZnTiO3 powder were obtained after calcination at 900 oC. The particle size of ZnTiO3 powder was in the range of 0.1-0.5 µm with irregular in shape and agglomerated.

Considering the demand of ceramic stain colours in Bangladesh, an attempt has been taken to develop iron-chromium-zinc pigment based ceramic stain colour of red-brown shade which could be used as an import substitute material in the local ceramic industries. The desired shade of red-brown stain was synthesized from an equimolar mixture of pure chromium oxide (Cr2O3), iron oxide (Fe2O3) and zinc oxide (ZnO). The developed stain was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The characteristic of the stain complied with the chemical durability. Moreover, chromium leaching was below the permissible exposure limit which makes it as a promising ceramic stain to be used in our ceramic industries.

In this work, the CuInS2 nanoparticles are successfully synthesized by microwave-assisted heating technique and further calcined at 400 °C. The morphological, structural, and optical properties of the synthesized CuInS2 nanoparticles are investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, and transmittance measurement, respectively. The SEM image shows the clear particle shape of the calcined CuInS2 nanoparticles. After calcination treatment, the fundamental (112) peak of the XRD spectrum and a broad Raman peak mixed with chalcopyrite and CuAu structures support the improved crystallinity of the calcined CuInS2 nanoparticles.

The ZnS-ZnO composite film was successfully prepared by sulfidation of the as-electrodeposited ZnO film in the aqueous solution of zinc nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine. The ZnO film was electrodeposited on the substrate of indium-tin oxide (ITO) glass, and then the sodium sulfide solution was used to convert the ZnO film into the ZnS-ZnO composite film. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and UVvisible absorption. The experimental results show that the composite film on ITO glass still retained the morphology of as-electrodeposited ZnO coating, and is composed of ZnS with cubic structure and ZnO with hexagonal structure.
