Table 3 Average grain size, agglomeration number (n), surface to volume ratio of the crystallites and the molecular organization of ZnO crystallites grown without and with folic acid template
From: Characterization of ZnO nanoparticles grown in presence of Folic acid template
Avg. grain size | n | Surface/volume | No. of molecules in the surface |
|---|---|---|---|
40 nm (pure ZnO) | 4x1024 | 0.1 | 4x1023 |
20 nm | 2x1024 | 0.3 | 6x1023 |
(with 3% folic acid concentration) | |||
