Effect of ascorbic acid on structural properties of ZnO nanoparticles prepared by precipitation process

Abstract

In this work, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was prepared by chemical precipitation process. To study the influence of the ascorbic acid on properties of ZnO nanoparticles, the ascorbic acid was added to precursor solution at different molar ratio of ascorbic acid (AA) and zinc during the synthesis process. The characterizations of ZnO nanoparticles were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscope, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The effect of ascorbic acid on the structural properties of ZnO NPs was investigated.

“…Copper oxide nanoparticles were prepared by mixing copper chloride (source of copper salt) with chitosan (capping agent), and vitamin C (reducing agent) as recently described 27 . ZO NPs were prepared using the precipitation method 42 with some modifications, including zinc chloride (0.2 mL, 160 mM) was mixed with NaOH (10 mL, 1 M) and vitamin C (10 mL, 20%), pH was adjusted to 7, and heated for 1 h at 80 °C. Then ZO NPs were obtained after centrifugation.…”

“…Zinc nanoparticles (Zn-NPs) were synthesized according to [ 42 ] with some modifications. In brief, 0.5 g of zinc acetate solutions were prepared on a magnet stirrer in 10 mL of 1 M NaOH.…”

Modification of Structural and Vibrational Properties of ZnO Nanoparticles Prepared by Simple Chemical Precipitation Method

“…When adding small amount of vitamin C into the precursor solution during synthesized process, the size of nanoparticles have smaller with the particle-like shape. While the value of vitamin C had increased, the size and shape of nanoparticles change to plate or disk-like structure, due to the effect of vitamin C that was added into ZnO precursor [6].…”
