Abstract

In the present work, ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles have been synthesized with the aid of Zn(OAc)2·2H2O and Al(NO3)3·9H2O as starting reagents in the presence of microwave irradiation. Besides, the effect of preparation parameters such as microwave power and irradiation time on the morphology and particle size of products was studied by SEM images. The as-prepared ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles were characterized extensively by techniques like XRD, TEM, SEM, FT-IR, PL, and EDS. Photoluminescence studies of the ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles displayed quantum confinement behavior with band gap of 3.2 eV. The XRD studies showed that pure orthorhombic ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles have been produced after calcination.
