This paper reports the synthesis and modification of zinc oxide, ZnO nanoparticles from zinc nitrate hexahydrate, citric acid and cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, using polyethylene glycol as a surfactant via a combination of hydrothermal and sol-gel methods. The sample was calcined at 500 °C for 2 h. Th...
