Abstract
For the first time, zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by the sonochemical method in an ionic liquid, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, liquid [hmim][NTf2] as a solvent. The morphology and structure of ZnO nanoparticles have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A possible mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of ZnO nanostructures.
