Synthesis and characterization of MgO nanocrystals using strong and weak bases
Magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were synthesized with varying normality of strong and weak bases using sol-gel method. KOH and NaOH were used as strong base; NH4OH and Na2CO3 were used as weak base for preparation of MgO nanocrystal. The nanocrystal size of MgO increased from strong base to weak base. Crystallite size of MgO was obtained as 1 N KOH/NaOH
