Abstract

An efficient protocol for synthesis of nanosize zinc oxide without calcinations was developed by sonochemical method. The method involved only use of zinc acetate as a precursor and 1, 3-Propane diol as a solvent with multiple roles. In our study, 1,3-propanediol served multiple roles as promoter, base, stabiliser and template for synthesis of nanosize zinc oxide and it also eliminated use of any extraneous species. As prepared nanosize zinc oxide was well characterised with the help of TEM, XRD and EDAX. The analysis result showed that zinc oxide is found to be at nano scale, with uniform morphology and well crystalline nature. This is one of the facile and environmental benign protocol for synthesis of nanosize zinc oxide.
