In this work, zinc nitride (Zn 3 N 2 ) were developed and explored for enhanced oil recovery. Zinc nitride (Zn 3 N 2 ) nanoparticles with triangular shape morphology were synthesized using sol-gel auto combustion method. The prepared NPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction and Field emission scanning electron microscopy for crystal structure, shape and size. The results reveal the formation of Zn 3 N 2 triangular shape particles. Zn 3 N 2 nanofluids of different concentrations were prepared and their effect on oil-water interfacial tension (IFT) under electromagnetic waves (EM) was investigated. The reduction in IFT was observed by introducing nanoparticles. It was found that Zn 3 N 2 nanofluid under EM waves can bring an additional reduction in IFT. The value of IFT at 0.1 wt of Zn 3 N 2 under EM waves of frequency 2.2 MHz was 0.55 mN/m which is 75 reduction. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2018 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85058215887&doi=10.1088%2f1742-6596%2f1123%2f1%2f012003&partnerID=40&md5=d903342cad899cb774e2ad1a503b767f id_number: 10.1088/1742-6596/1123/1/012003 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Physics: Conference Series volume: 1123 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 17426588 citation: Baig, M.K. and Soleimani, H. and Yahya, N. and Ali, H. and Sabet, M. and Rostami, A.
