Key Points

ZnO–SiO2 nanocomposites demonstrated distinct properties upon varying annealing temperatures, enhancing performance.
Characterization revealed that the 10:90 ratio of ZnO to SiO2 influences structural stability and thermal behavior.
The sol-gel method was employed for synthesizing both pure ZnO, SiO2, and their composites, providing a controlled environment for analysis.
This research highlights the importance of annealing temperatures in optimizing the properties of ZnO–SiO2 nanocomposites.

Implication

Investigation reports on the effects of annealing temperature on ZnO–SiO2 nanocomposites, indicating enhanced properties compared to pure ZnO and SiO2.

Abstract

In this investigation, pure SiO2, ZnO, and ZnO–SiO2 (10:90) nanocomposites were synthesized via the sol–gel method and systematically characterized in a comparative framework. Upon increasing the annealing temperature, the ZnO–SiO2...
