| description |
Nanoparticles of undoped and Magnesium doped Zinc Oxide were prepared using
mechanochemical synthesis. Zinc Chloride, Sodium Carbonate and Sodium Chloride
were milled together in ball mill with different period of milling time and molarity of
Sodium Chloride as diluents agent added to analyze the effect of different milling
parameters on structural and optical properties of Zinc Oxide obtained. After milling,
the samples were subjected to different heat treatment process and analyzed using XRay
Diffraction spectrometer to check the progress of reaction and find the crystallite
sizes of nanopowders. UV-Vis spectroscopy was employed to get the value of energy
gap for the samples while Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope are used to
observe the microstructure of samples. From the result, the best optimum time to
synthesis nanoparticles Zinc Oxide with lowest particle size is 5 hours and the
optimum amount of diluent (PCA) to use in this technique is 6 moles. Other than that,
the increasing of heat treatment temperatures was found to increase the crystallite
sizes of nanoparticles obtained. ZnO nanoparticles displayed significant recovery of
defects that were introduced during milling process as evidenced by XRD analysis.
Magnesium doping is seen to influence the crystallite size by arresting the crystal
growth during milling and heat treatment. From the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles, it
can be seen that crystallite size of the nanoparticles displayed an inversely
proportional relationship with energy gap value after prepared with different milling
conditions and ratio of Magnesium doping. The increasing of energy gap with the
decreasing crystallite size is attributed to the quantum confinement effects. |
