Synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using Microwave in the presence of Adipic acid and Dodecylbenzene sulfunic acid

فاقد چكيده

ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method using microwave irradiation. The effects of two surfactants on the size and morphology of ZnO particles were investigated, simultaneously. The surfactants, Adipic acid and Dodecylbenzene sulfunic acid (DDBS), were used as capping agent and dispersing agent, respectively. The obtained powders were examined by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The average Crystallite size was determined Using Sherrer equation to be in the range 15-30 nm. The tests were carried out in various conditions and the results were investigated and optimized using 23 factorial design.
