Synthesis of ZnO nanoflakes using the ultrasonic spray pyrolisis technique
Abstract
In present work we report the fabrication of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflakes on glass substrates using the ultrasonic chemical spray technique. The fabrication of nanoflakes consisted of depositing ZnO at 260°C for 10 minutes using the chemical spray technique by nebulization and its subsequent heat treatment at 400°C during 30 minutes. The optical, morphological and structural properties were analyzed by UV-visible spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The study of the properties of the ZnO deposited in glass corroborated the presence and formation of homogeneously interconnected ZnO nanoflakes in sizes of approximately 35 nm (thickness) and 240-350 nm (length).
