In-situ synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles in oxidized polyvinyl alcohol nanocomposites for tunable optoelectronic and proton conductive performance

This work presents the in-situ synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in an oxidized polyvinyl alcohol (OPVA) matrix, which greatly enhances the final nanocomposites optical, mechanical, and proton conductive properties. Zinc acetate was used as a precursor to synthesis ZnO nanoparticles at different concentrations (1 wt %, 5 wt%, and 10 wt%) within the OPVA matrix.
