Abstract

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by using a polyol method and several isomers of aminobenzoic acid as surfactant. Our results show that nanoparticle morphology and size are closely linked with the structural isomerism of the surfactant: spherical nanoparticle for ortho-aminobenzoic acid, twin rod for meta-aminobenzoic acid, and oriented mesosphere of triangular nanoparticles were obtained. We have shown that the morphology is governed on the first step by the reaction of carboxylate function with zinc precursor and in a second step by amine group interactions with the particle surface. Moreover, in the case of para-aminobenzoic acid, the agglomeration of triangular nanoparticles originates from the mutual alignment of crystal faces due to interparticular force to form oriented mesospheres. This agglomeration can be avoided by the use of basic conditions for the synthesis of the nanoparticles.
