Synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles by thermal decomposition of a curcumin zinc complex

ZnO nanoparticles were generated by thermal decomposition of a binuclear zinc (II) curcumin complex as single source precursor. Thermal behavior of the precursor showed a considerable weight loss at about 374 °C by an exothermic reaction with a maximum weight loss rate of 14%/min. Complete decomposi...
