The above mixed solution was used as a precursor solution. Then, a certain amount of 3 mol/L NaOH solution was added dropwise to the precursor solution, and the PH values of the solutions were adjusted to be 9, 10 and 11. The above mixed solution was transferred to a 100 mL autoclave, sealed, and placed in a constant temperature drying oven at 120 °C for 8 h. It was cooled to room temperature, washed several times with deionized water and absolute ethanol, and placed in a constant temperature drying oven at 60 °C to be dried. We named the samples synthesized under the above three different PH values ZnO-1, ZnO-2, and ZnO-3.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
