Effect of microwave power on the morphology and optical property of zinc oxide nano-structures prepared via a microwave-assisted aqueous solution method

Investigation of the optical properties of Mg(OH)2 and MgO nanostructures obtained by microwave-assisted methods

“…(4) and (5)). In addition to the reasons detailed in reference [31], this is probably the main reason for the presence of two different morphologies of Mg(OH) 2 (nanoparticles and nanosheets, observed in Fig. 2).…”

Hydrogen Incorporation in Undoped ZnO Nanoparticles

“…The variation follows the strain data obtained from analysis of XRD patterns in a direct relationship indicating that the variation in optical gap is related to structural change resulting from variation of dry temperatures. The variation of optical gap in ZnO has been observed by several authors [30,31], who is explained that the change in optical gap on the basis of variation of the average particle size. This explanation is also consistent with our observation plotted in Figure 2(c).…”

Annealing Effects on the Structural and Optical Properties of ZnO Nanostructures

“…Nanostructured ZnO have been synthesized by distinct methods, such as ultrarapid sonochemical 6 , hydrothermal synthesis 7 , microwave assisted irradiate 8 , sol-gel 9,10 , and aqueous solution methods 11 . In all these cases, the materials properties are strongly dependent on the synthesis parameters.…”
