摘要
Zinc oxide nanoparticles were produced by aqueous precipitation in mild hydrothermal conditions (90 degrees C). Well crystallized regular roundish particles were obtained, with a very narrow size distribution. The influence of soft templates (organic species) to control size and size distribution in the final product was investigated. No effect was observed with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP M-w 8000 and 40,000), (D-)fructose and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC). A significant decrease of the particle size towards 100 nm, while conserving a very narrow size distribution was observed for poly(acrylic acid) (PAA M-w 2000), Dispex A40 (commercial PAA from CIBA M-w similar to 10,000), and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). The influence of the pH was also investigated with PAA. By increasing the pH from slightly acidic to basic conditions, the morphology was spectacularly modified from roundish nanoparticles to micronic branched flower-like particles, with an elongated primary crystal morphology.
