Abstract
We report an industrially scalable route for the fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles using an ultrasound-assisted precipitation technique. The as-prepared nanoparticles (denoted as UZO) exhibited a hexagonal wurtzite structure with a size of 43.74 nm. A proof-of-concept study was conducted to assess the photocatalytic capability of UZO via the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye in water, demonstrating high efficiency of 97.32% for an initial concentration of 20 mg/L under UVA light for 210 min. This method holds promise for industrial-scale production of ZnO nanoparticles.
