Effect of temperature on the structure, catalyst and magnetic properties of un-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles: experimental and DFT calculation.

ABSTRACT: Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel and hydrothermal techniques and characterized at different calcination temperatures (400, 500, and 600 °C). The study included an analysis of morphology, crystalline phase, particle size, elemental analysis, specific surface area and chemical state. Various characterization methods were employed, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), surface analysis (BET), nitrogen absorption and desorption (N₂-desorption), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TGA-DSC), temperature-programmed reduction of hydrogen (H₂-TPR). Additionally, magnetic properties ZnO nanoparticles were investigated by electron spin resonance (E
