Abstract Herein, we have studied the effects of solvents on structural, optical and electrical properties of prismatic shaped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized through microwave heating method. The samples were prepared by using various solvents viz., water (WT), digol (DEG), 2-propanol (2-PL) and ethylene glycol (EG). The XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FE-SEM (Field emission scanning electron microscopy) results confirmed that the crystallite size and growth of ZnO nanoparticles depended on the solvents used. EDAX analysis evaluates the Zinc (Zn) and oxygen (O) composition in the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. The absorbance and reflectance studies were undertaken by UV–Visible spectroscopy. The energy gap of synthesized ZnO nanostructures was calculated using Kubelka-Munk plot. I-V characterization study was performed to estimate the current intensity of ZnO films.

溶剂对微波加热合成氧化锌纳米粒子结构、光学和电学性能的影响

摘要 在此，我们研究了溶剂对通过微波加热法合成的棱柱形氧化锌 (ZnO) 纳米粒子的结构、光学和电学性能的影响。样品是通过使用各种溶剂制备的，即水 (WT)、二甘醇 (DEG)、2-丙醇 (2-PL) 和乙二醇 (EG)。XRD（X 射线衍射）和 FE-SEM（场发射扫描电子显微镜）结果证实，ZnO 纳米颗粒的微晶尺寸和生长取决于所使用的溶剂。EDAX 分析评估合成的 ZnO 纳米粒子中的锌 (Zn) 和氧 (O) 成分。吸光度和反射率研究是通过紫外-可见光谱进行的。使用 Kubelka-Munk 图计算合成的 ZnO 纳米结构的能隙。
