Abstract :
Zinc oxide nanoparticles has been synthesized using colloidal gas aphrons as template. Zinc sulfate (ZnSO4.7H2O) and ammonia gas used as reactants. The incubation periods that have been studied are 2 h and 18 h. From the scanning electron microscope analysis, nanosheet morphology can be observed with thickness of 125 nm to 200 nm. From the UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis, the estimated average size for zinc oxide nanoparticles with 2 h incubation time is 2:03 nm and 2.1 nm for 18 h of incubation time.
