ABSTRACT

This study aims to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles from zinc acetate dihydrate and investigate the effects of different solvothermal treatment conditions on their structural and morphological properties. ZnO nanoparticles were initially prepared as nanodots through a solution-based method, followed by a solvothermal treatment to promote recrystallization into more structured nanoparticles. The synthesized materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to assess their crystalline phases, and the effects of varying temperatures (150°C and 200°C) and treatment durations (24 h and 120 h) were evaluated. The XRD analysis confirmed the formation of wurtzite-type ZnO nanoparticles, with changes in diffraction peak intensities and widths indicating the effects of solvothermal treatment on crystallinity and morphology. Notably, higher temperatures and longer treatment times resulted in nanoparticles with enhanced crystallinity and anisotropic shapes. The successful synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with controlled morphological characteristics through solvothermal methods opens new avenues for their application in advanced technologies.
