Abstract
This paper proposes a method for obtaining zinc oxide (ZnO) through precise thermal treatment. To ensure optimal synthesis conditions, a smart remote-control device was developed to set and monitor temperature parameters in real-time via a mobile interface. This system enables high-precision thermal profiles, essential for the structural quality of the resulting zinc oxide nanostructures.
