Mechanochemical Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and ...
Crystalline ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a mechanochemical method using zinc acetate dihydrate and sodium hydroxide as starting materials, and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a protective agent. Mechanochemical activation of the solid-state reaction was achieved at low temperatures in a rapid laboratory ball mill. A three-level full factorial experimental design was used to ...
