Saric, Ankica published the artcileSolvothermal synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles: A combined experimental and theoretical study, Safety of n-Octanol, the main research area is zinc oxide nanoparticle solvothermal synthesis.
Zinc oxide particles were synthesized from zinc acetylacetonate in the presence of triethanolamine (TEA) and various alc. solvent, ethanol or octanol, at 170°. The structural, optical, and morphol. characteristics of ZnO particles were monitored using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopies, and field emission SEM (FE-SEM). The exptl. findings were confirmed by means of DFT calculations which were obtained in nonpolar alc. 1-octanol, as a follow up to our previous study in polar ethanol. The nucleation and formation mechanism of ZnO nanoparticles is proposed considering the results obtained from a computational study of Gibbs free energies of ZnO-TEA mol. interactions (ΔG*INT) in various solvent system. The calculations revealed different binding affinities which initiated the nucleation processes of ZnO nanoparticles in the presence of alcs. of different size and polarity. The high chelating efficiency of TEA towards zinc with tetrahedral geometry is observed The results of X-ray diffraction size-strain anal. indicate the presence of size anisotropy as well as a reduction in the ZnO crystallite size with the change of solvent from ethanol to 1-octanol (<10 nm). Journal of Molecular Structure published new progress about Bond length. 111-87-5 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is n-Octanol, and the molecular formula is C8H18O, Safety of n-Octanol.
