Synthesis of two-dimensional ZnO nanopellets by pyrolysis of zinc oleate

We report the non-hydrolytic solution phase synthesis of two-dimensional zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopellets by using self-made organometallic compound (zinc (II) oleate, Zn(C18H33O2)2) as single precursor. Zn(C18H33O2)2 is prepared by ion exchange reaction between non-toxic fatty acid (palm oil extract) a...
