As an interesting material in large field area, ZnO synthesize has been widely observed. In this research, synthesize was carried out using zinc dross, waste from galvanization process, as starting material by simple heat treatment method. The as-synthesized ZnO obtained were further underwent post-anneal and post-hydrothermal treatment series. From the characterization data, it was found that highest crystallite size was obtained in sample treated with post-hydrothermal treatment at 150oC for 12 hours with value of 1371 nm, which corresponds to its lowest Eg value of 3,086 eV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
