Hexagonal wurtzite ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized in aqueous solutions containing zinc acetate (Zn(OAc)2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) by microwaving at 400, 600 and 800 W for 6 min. The as-synthesized products analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy were pure hexagonal wurtzite ZnO nanostructure with sharp and strong optical phonon Raman-active mode of E2H at 438.7 cm-1 and in the shape of nanoparticles clustered together as nanoplate-nanorod mixture with different orientations. The central photoluminescence (PL) emission was detected at 378.9-382.4 nm of UV region, due to the recombination of excitons. The energy band gap of the as-synthesized products characterized by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy was decreased form 3.20 eV to 3.01 eV by increasing in the microwaving power from 400 W to 800 W, due to the decreasing in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the XRD main peaks and the improvement of crystalline degree of the products. |
