Abstract

ZnO nanocrystalline materials with different crystallite and particle sizes were synthesized by the solvothermal approach. The structure and optical properties were investigated using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption isotherms, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), transm...
