| The aim of the present work is to compare two methods of synthesis of nanocrystallline zinc oxide doped with iron oxide. The synthesis was carried out using microwave asssisted hydrothermal synthesis and traditional wet chemistry method followed by calcination. The phase composition of the samples was determined using X-ray diffraction measurements. Depending on the chemical composition of the samples, hexagonal ZnO, and/or cubic ZnFe2O4 were identified. The morphology of the received materials was characterized using scanning electron microscopy. Two different structures of agglomerates were observed: a hexagonal structure (corresponding to zinc oxide) and spherical (corresponding to spinel phase). The effect of the iron oxide concentration on specific surface area and density of the samples was determined. |
