| In this study, different concentrations of hydroxyl-footed methylresorcinarene (HFMR) are selected to bind zinc acetate in order to investigate its role on the formation of ZnO nanoparticles. Accordingly, the size of produced ZnO nanoparticles are affected by the existence of the binding agent as observed by XRD and TEM analysis. The particle size increases from 28 to 43 nm with increasing amounts of binding agent. The SEM and TEM micrographs show hexagonal morphology. The UV-vis absorption and PL spectra show that the absorption edge shifts to red. |
