Abstract EN
ZnO particles with various morphologies were synthesized by mixing ZnSO4 and NaOH solutions at 25°C followed by aging of the suspensions at 40–80°C for 2.0 h, keeping the initial molar ratio of Zn2+ to OH− at 1 : 4.
ZnO irregular plates were prepared by adding NaOH to ZnSO4 while ε-Zn(OH)2 rhombic particles were produced using the opposite mixing way.
After aging of the slurries at 80°C for 2.0 h, the ZnO plates were kept stable while the ε-Zn(OH)2 rhombic particles were converted to ZnO whiskers with a length of 1.0–4.0 μm and a diameter of 0.03–0.3 μm.
Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the formation of the Zn-bearing precipitates (ZnO or ε-Zn(OH)2) at room temperature was connected closely with the solution composition.
