Ionic Liquid Assisted Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles: Growth Mechanism Under Different Calcination Temperature
A simple and favorable method has developed for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with controlled size and much morphology phases using ionic liquid, [BMIM] BF–
4 as solvent or template. The Zn(OH)2 precursor were subsequently annealed at different
temperatures (100–500 °C) for studying the effect of thermal treatment on the surface morphology and the size of the ZnO nanoparticles. Stabilization of ZnO nanoparticles is attained by capping their surface with the organic ligand of ionic liquid. Structural and morphological properties
of the synthesized nanoparticles were characterised by XRD and SEM analysis. A plausible formation of growth mechanism of dendritic ZnO nanostructures was discussed in detail.
