The generated nanoparticles were investigated using conventional procedures. ZnO nanopowders (ZnO-NPs) were suspended in ethanol, sonicated, and then deposited onto a copper grid, before drying and studying with a JEOL-2100 HR-TEM. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD, Philips, X’pert, Cu K) and zeta potential investigations of the produced ZnO-NPs were conducted. An energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) was also used to determine the elemental composition of the generated particles [15 (link)].
