摘要
A novel and facile approach for synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) employing homogeneous chemical precipitation followed by hydrothermal heating technique is reported. The present method of synthesis of ZnO NPs is very efficient and cost effective. As-synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, EDX, TEM, and N-2 adsorption-desorption (BET) studies. The powder XRD pattern furnished evidence for the formation of hexagonal close packing structure of ZnO NPs having average crystallite size 21.93 nm. The shapes of synthesized ZnO NPs are mostly quasi-cylindrical with sizes 20-50 nm. These ZnO NPs were used as catalysts for the degradation of a pharmaceuticals waste, metronidazole under ultrasound irradiation. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
