Abstract
Herein ZnO nanoparticles has been successfully synthesized via a simple and fast sol gel method. The prepared nanomaterials were annealed then characterized using XRD, BET, SEM, EDX, TGA, DTG and PL. The results revealed the formation of wurtzite ZnO nanoparticles with surface area that decreased from 109.7 to7.48 m(2)/g and a corresponding 16.03 to 25.03 nm mean diameter due to the rise in annealing temperature. The BET isotherms analysis indicated mesoporous nanoparticles supporting the data obtained by particle size. The TGA and DTG results indicated the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The PL study showedUV bands emissions intensity increased from 7.28 to 67.8 % as the annealing temperature rise from 250 to 550 degrees C respectively.
