Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocrystalline Zinc Oxide Thin Films via Green Chemistry
Authors
Abstract:
Green chemistry is an alternative route of which has overcome the limitations of other chemical methods. Nanocrystalline zinc oxide (NC-ZnO) with different structures have been grown on quartz plates by spin coating method by the use of plant extracts of Citrus aurantifolia which can be a cost effective and eco-friendly approach.. The present exploration describes the synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles thin films were characterized by XRD, SEM and AFM and Raman techniques to reveal their structural, morphological and optical details.

Direct synthesis and characterization of optically transparent conformal zinc oxide nanocrystalline thin films by rapid thermal plasma CVD
We report a rapid, self-catalyzed, solid precursor-based thermal plasma chemical vapor deposition process for depositing a conformal, nonporous, and optically transparent nanocrystalline ZnO thin film at 130 Torr (0.17 atm). Pure solid zinc is inductively heated and melted, followed by ionization by thermal induction argon/oxygen plasma to produce conformal, nonporous nanocrystalline ZnO films ...

Nanocrystalline ZnO powders are synthesized using a quick, simple and inexpensive combustion method. Glycine and zinc nitrate, used as fuel and oxidant/cation sources respectively, were mixed together at room temperature to form a slurry or gel. A series of experiments were performed to synthesize nanoparticles for different fuel to oxidant ratios. The rate of heating and stirring greatly influ...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been widely investigated due to their multifunctional properties, i.e., catalytic, semiconducting and optical. They have found practical use in a wide number of application fields. However, the presence of a compact micro/nanostructure has often limited the resulting material properties. Moreover, with the advent of low-dimensional ZnO nanostructures featuring u...

Nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite as a magnetic black pigment was synthesized via coordinated precursors with a significant decrease of the synthesis temperature using citric acid as a coordinating agent. The structure and properties of the cobalt ferrite powder were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), colorimetric analysis (L*a*b* color parameters), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and vibr...

Micro-ring structured zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were prepared on glass substrates by spray pyrolysis and their structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties were investigated. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the films' hexagonal wurtzite phase with a preferred (002) grain orientation. The mean crystallite size calculated on the basis of the Debye-Scherrer model was 24...
