R. Lakshmanan ^[2] | R. Murugasami | D. Kumar ^[3]

Abstract: In an attempt to a novel CMC-assisted combustion method, ZnO has been prepared at low temperature. Interestingly, properties such as phase purity, particle size and structure desirable for better optical band gab are observed with the sample synthesized at 400C. The study demonstrates the possibility and superiority of synthesizing good optical band gab active ZnO with preferred surface morphology. The as-synthesized nanoparticles has been characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, particle size analyzer and Uv visible spectroscopy.

Keywords: Combustion method, carboxymethyl cellulose CMC, surface morphology, bandgap
