	abstract = {<p>The thermoreactivity of a zinc acetate non-alkoxide solution used for the preparation of ZnO-based thin films was investigated in the temperature range 20-600{\textdegree}C by TG-DTA, XRD and SEM data. We found that the formation in air of ZnO crystallites from the sol-gel precursor occurs above 150{\textdegree}C simultaneously with the decomposition of an intermediary compound, most probably carbonate hydroxide (sciante and/or hydrozincite). At 200{\textdegree}C, the crystalline structure is well defined in terms of ZnO hexagonal lattice parameters, although residual organic compounds and water were not yet fully removed and an amorphous phase coexists. A kinetic investigation on the thermal decomposition of sol-gel precursor from DTA data using Kissinger differential equation is also presented. Apparent activation energy values of about. 100 kJ mol-1 corresponding to the non-isothermal decomposition of solid precursors in the temperature range 170-250{\textdegree}C have been found.</p>
