Abstract EN
Control in size, crystallinity, and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized via coprecipitate method were investigated.
A systematic change in particle size, crystallinity, and optical properties was observed by increasing synthesis temperature from 65°C to 75°C.
A detailed study also suggested that smaller nucleation time is better to control the size distribution but the crystallinity will be compromised accordingly.
Postannealing of ZnO NPs at 400°C also improves the crystal quality.
Ultraviolet (UV) sensors were successfully synthesized and the results suggested that as-synthesized ZnO NPs can be used as active material for sensor applications.
