Abstract

ZnO fine powder was prepared by the batch precipitation process using $ZnCl_2$ and hexamethylenetetramine solution as a mother solution. When the concentrations of $ZnCl_2$solution were $0.1mol/\ell$ and 0.05mol/-, the particles of rod shape were obtained when the conentration of $ZnCl_2$solution was $0.01mol/\ell$, the particle of plate shape was obtained. When the hexamethylenetetramine as a precipitants was used, pH was raised slow during a few minute be-cause of slow hydrolysis rate of hexamethylenetetramine. For rapid raising of pH during initial reac-tion time, $NH_4$OH was added as nucleant. When $NH_4$OH as a nucleant was added, obtained particle was shape of granular and the mean particle size was $0.41\mu\textrm{m}$. After calcination at $500^{\circ}C$ during 1hour, all of remained organic phase was removed but the shape of particles was not changed. But pa-rticles were slightly shrunk in comparision with before calcined particles.

출발용액으로 $ZnCl_2$와 Hexamethylenetetramine 용액을 사용한 Batch process를 이용하여 ZnO 미분말을 합성 하였다. 합성된 입자의 형태는 $ZnCl_2$용액의 농도가 $0.1mol/\ell$$0.05mol/\ell$에서 봉형이 얻어졌고 $0.01mol/\ell$판형의 분말이 얻어졌다. Hexamethylenetetramine은 늦은 속도로 가해, $ZnCl_2$의 농도가 0.05mol/l일 때 핵 생성제로 $NH_4$OH를 첨가하였다. 이때, 얻어진 분말의 평균 입자크기는 약 $0.4\mu\textrm{m}$였고 형태는 구형이었다. $500^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 하소한 후, 입자에 일부 존재하던 유기물은 모두 제거되었다. 이때, 입자의 전체적인 형태에 있어서는 큰 변화가 없었으나 크기는 약간의 감소가 일어났다.
