Abstract

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using the polyol method with ethylene glycol containing hydroxyl groups (-OH). It was confirmed that the zinc compounds prepared by the polyol method were a mixture of zinc carbonate hydroxide (Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) crystalline structures. Calcination at 400℃, 600℃ and 800℃ was performed to examine the effects of calcination temperature on the particle size, morphology and crystallinity of zinc oxide. ZnO powders of calcination at 800 ℃ was evaluated to particle size analysis from ethylene glycol containing precursor solution compared with distilled water based solution. The zinc oxide particles obtained from the former had a particle size of approximately 404 ± 51 nm, whereas those from the latter exhibited a more uniform nanoparticles morphology with a particle size of approximately 109 ± 29 nm. This demonstrates that the addition of ethylene glycol can control the influence of water molecules, enabling the direct synthesis of zinc oxide in the form of uniform nanoparticles.

산화아연 나노입자는 수산기(-OH)가 포함된 에틸렌 글리콜을 이용하여 폴리올 방법으로 제조하였다. 폴리올 방법으로 생성된 아연 화합물은 하이드록시탄산아연(Zinc carbonate hydroxide, Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2)과 산화아연(ZnO) 결정구조가 혼재함을 확인하였다. 400℃, 600℃ 및 800℃에서 하소하여, 하소 온도 조건에 따른 산화아연 입자 크기, 형상 및 결정성 영향을 확인하였다. 증류수를 이용한 황산 아연 전구체 용액과 에틸렌 글리콜이 첨가된 혼합 용액으로 제조된 황산 아연 전구체 용액을 각각 800℃에서 하소하여 제조된 산화아연 분말을 입도 분석하였다. 전자의 경우 약 404 ± 51 nm의 입자 크기를 갖는 반면, 후자의 경우 약 109 ± 29 nm로 보다 균일한 나노 입자 형태의 산화아연 제조가 가능하였다. 에틸렌 글리콜을 통해 물 분자 영향을 제어하여 직접적인 산화아연 제조 및 나노 입자 크기 형태로 제조가 가능함을 제시하였다.
