本論文提出在室溫常壓下液相製備氧化鋅的方法，所使用的液相為水溶液和深共熔溶劑(deep eutectic solvents, DESs)所組成，其溶液性質不具毒性和腐蝕性，為對環境無害的綠色溶劑(green solvents)。

在製備氧化鋅的機制上，不同於一般化學合成法，本論文使用類似超臨界流體製備奈米顆粒的反溶劑法，首創液體反溶劑法，添加液體反溶劑於含氧化鋅的深共熔溶劑中，使得在液相中的氧化鋅溶解度下降而析出沉澱。

在實驗變因方面，本論文探討了不同滴定方式、被滴定溶劑溫度、被滴定溶劑攪拌速度、滴定時間和滴定完成後持續攪拌時間等變因。在不同的變因之下，實驗結果已成功製備出不同型態(morphology)的氧化鋅，包含有沿生長方向截面積改變的兩頭尖和兩頭平狀氧化鋅、紡錘狀(spindle-like)氧化鋅、橢圓狀(ellipsoidal)氧化鋅、長橢圓狀(long ellipsoidal)氧化鋅、啞鈴狀(dumbbell-like)氧化鋅等。
