The aims of this work are synthesis of ZnO nanopowders and producing nanocomposites by mixing with carbon nanotubes. ZnO nanopowders have been synthesized by chemical precipitation route. Different amount of collected nanosized Zn-based precipitates and chemically oxidized carbon nanotubes powder have been mix together and annealed at 400°C. Characterization of produced nanopowders and nanocomposites have been carried out by X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope.
