Abstract:In this study, a novel process for synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles using a non-thermal plasma source generated by the Gliding Arc Discharge (GAD) system is presented. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using diverse techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the effectiveness of the synthe… Show more
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.
