The nano-sized Zinc selenide (ZnSe) powder was successfully synthesized using Zn and Se precursors by a hydrothermal process. Temperature for the synthesis were varied from 95 ℃ to 180 ℃ to evaluate its influence on microstructural properties of the synthetic particle. ZnSe powder thus fabricated was characterized using various analytical tools such as SEM, XRD, TEM and UV-Vis methods. Two types of ZnSe particles, that is, the precipitated particle and the colloidal particles were identified from the analysis. The precipitated particles were around 100 nm in its average size whereas the average size of the colloidal particles was around 20 nm. The precipitated particles made at 150 ℃ and 180 ℃ were found to be a single phase of ZnSe, however, an inhomogeneous phase was obtained at the lower synthesis temperature of 95 ℃ suggesting that the temperature for the synthesis be over 100 ℃. The precipitated particles were inactive in the UV-Vis absorption investigation whereas the colloidal particles showed that absorptions were occurred at 380 nm of UV-Vis spectrum. |
