Synthesis and Growth of ZnO Nanoparticles

ZnO nanoparticles in the size range from 2 to 7 nm were prepared by addition of LiOH to an ethanolic zinc acetate solution. This method [Spanhel, L.; Anderson, M. A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 2826] was modified and extended at several points. The synthesis of very small ZnO nuclei was simplified.... View More
