Abstract :
In this paper we presented influence of acidity on nanopowder structure prepared in reaction of precipitation. Zinc oxide was prepared from zinc nitrate and sodium hydroxide with the participation of the microwave field. The investigation revealed that the grain size of zinc oxide and their microstructure significantly depends on the solution pH. The microstructures obtained in the more alkaline reaction conditions have greater the aspect ratio.
