چکیده
In the Present work structural, morphological and compositional properties of ZnO nanopowders synthesized using Zinc nitrate and NaOH using sol-gel process were reported. The synthesized nanopowders were further analyzed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic characterizations. Crystalline size and Lattice strain determined from XRD spectra. Morphology of Nanopowders viewed from SEM images observed at different magnifications. The presence of Functional groups analyzed from FTIR spectra. From the results it was very clear that particles synthesized using Zinc nitrate and NaOH plays a vital role on crystalline size, surface morphology of Nanopowders. Synthesized nanopowders can be utilized as building materials in fabrication of various optoelectronic devices including solar cells, LED’s etc. due to its significant structural, morphological and optical properties.
