I work on the synthesis of nanoparticles. I have synthesized ZnO nanoparticles that their morphology is in the form shown in the picture.What do you think about the shape and morphology of these nanoparticles?What is the exact morphology of these nanoparticles?
Dear Razieh Azimpanah
Thank you for sharing your SEM images. However, let's go to the research discussion:
SEM image : Fig. 1 reveals cloud nanoparticle surface. This type of surface may absorb gas molecule, so that, it can be used as a gas sensor.
Fig. 2 expresses the worm-like nanoparticle surface that has a better photocatalytic activity.
The SEM image of synthesized nanoparticles were much agglomerated.....better you go for AFM and will you get exact size of nanoparticles.
SEM image gives enlarge agglomerated morphology. TEM image will give better morphology where clearer shape, size distribution and inter-particle distances can be more visible.
