The present study is focused on the sol-gel ultrasonic hydrothermal synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and its application in the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized with varying temperatures at 90 °C, 190 °C and 550 °C. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate [Zn(NO3)...
