Synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles by decomposition of zinc peroxide
Zinc peroxide sols were prepared by the peptization of Zn(OH)(2) using 1 mol/L of H2O2 aqueous solution at 348 K for 2 h. Firing the dried sol powder at 573 K for 2 h formed almost monodispersed ZnO nanoparticles whose average diameter was 19 nm.
