Modulation of synthetic parameters of novel zinc nanoparticles and reducing agent: powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and spectral studies.

Benzildiethylenetriamine was used as a reducing agent to prepare Zn nanostructures. The crystallography of benzildiethylenetriamine was done to confirm the molecular structure. These studies focus on the modulation of synthetic parameters in order to influence the size, structure, composition and arrangement of nanoparticles of Zinc. The morphology and structure of the synthesized nanoparticles of zinc were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrum analysis (EDS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The results show that nanoparticles of zinc are of high purity and 20 nm in size.
