Abstract

Zincite has been produced by the controlled hydrolysis of an alkylzinc alkoxide (ethylzinc-t-butoxide) resulting in ∼0.2 μm spherical particles with a narrow size distribution consisting of 150 Å crystallites. The surface area is 30 m2/g. Variation of the concentration of the water drastically affects the particle and crystallite sizes. The results of a systematic study of the hydrolysis parameters are reported here.
