Abstract

Silica nanoparticles are one of the nanomaterials that are used quite extensively because of some of their unique characteristics. The synthesis of silica nanoparticles is usually made from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the precursor but because of the price is quite expensive it will be replaced with sodium silicate. In this study silica nanoparticles will be synthesized by using Sol-Gel and Heat Injection Method by varying the temperature operation. Ammonia and ethanol solutions are the solvents which will be injected by sodium silicate. The result silica nanoparticles were characterized to know crystal structure and morphology using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In this study, the structure formed from nanosilica powder is amorphous. The analysis results show that the shape of nanosilica in general is spherical.
