SnS壳层厚度对ZnO/SnS核壳结构纳米棒光致发光性能的影响

Formamide driven synthesis of well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays on glass substrate

A cost effective, low-temperature approach has been developed for the large-area deposition of ZnO nanorod/nanotube arrays on a ZnO coated glass substrate by the natural oxidation of zinc metal in formamide/water mixtures. The two-step seed deposition and wet-chemical approach exhibited well-controlled growth of highly oriented and densely packed ZnO nanorod/nanotube arrays with large-area homogeneity and uniform morphologies. In order to investigate the quality and alignment of ZnO nanorod arrays grown on the ZnO seed layer coated substrate, three different methods of ZnO coating have been deposited by ultrahigh vacuum evaporation system, DC sputtering and RF sputtering, respectively. Our results showed that the ZnO seed layer grown by RF sputtering resulted in high quality ZnO nanorod arrays.     

Synthesis and photoluminescent properties of ZnO:Cu/ZnO core/shell nanocrystals

ZnO:Cu/ZnO core/shell nanocrystals are synthesized by a two-step solution-phase process. The morphology, structure and optical properties of the samples are detected by scanning electron microscopy, Raman, absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. The increase of particle size confirms the growth of ZnO shell. The segregation of CuO phase observed in ZnO: Cu core is not detected in ZnO:Cu/ZnO core/shell nanocrystals from Raman spectra. It is suggested that some Cu ions can be segregated from ZnO nanocrystals, and the separated Cu ions can be incorporated inside ZnO shell after the growth of ZnO shell. The visible emission mechanism is discussed in detail, and the photoluminescence analysis indicates that the core/shell structure helps to eliminate the surface-related emission.     

Growth of ZnO nanocrystals by pulsed laser deposition on sapphire and silicon and the infrared spectra of the nanocrystals

The ZnO nanorods that comprise highly oriented nanorod structures are grown on sapphire and silicon substrates by laser ablation. The nanostructures grown in different conditions are characterized by means of electron microscopy and Fourier infrared reflectance spectroscopy. The contributions of optical phonons and free charge carriers to the infrared spectra of the layers of ZnO nanorods are identified, and the degree of orientation of the ZnO nanorods with respect to the substrate surface is analyzed in relation to the conditions of growth. Softening of optical phonons of ZnO with decreasing the nanorod diameter is observed.

     

Surface Wettability of Nanostructured Zinc Oxide Films

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanograin and nanorod films were prepared by magnetron sputter deposition and an aqueous solution growth method. Their surface wettability was studied in relation to their surface morphologies. While the surfaces of both films were hydrophobic, the nanorod films exhibited higher surface hydrophobicity. A superhydrophobic surface was obtained on a ZnO nanorod film with a water contact angle of 151 deg. Results have shown that their surface wettability was influenced by the morphology of ZnO nanostructures, including the grain size, the length, and density of nanorods. Both types of ZnO films showed switchable wettability under ultraviolet irradiation and dark storage.     

Prospects for the pulsed electrodeposition of zinc-oxide hierarchical nanostructures

Studies into the effect of the conditions of pulsed electrodeposition upon the structural and sub-structural parameters, morphology, and optical properties of ZnO-crystallite arrays make it possible to establish those parameters optimal for the formation of ZnO nanorods oriented normally to the substrate surface. These parameters are as follows: an electrolyte temperature of 70–85°C, duty cycle of 40%, and a pulse-repetition frequency of 2 Hz. The nanorod dimensions can be varied by heating or cooling the electrolyte within the above-indicated limits; as a result, small-sized nanorods can be electrically deposited on the surface of larger nanorods to form hierarchical nanostructures. By varying the duty cycle, it is possible to modify the surface morphology of the arrays up to the formation of mesoporous ZnO networks. In combination with ZnO nanorods, such networks are capable of forming hierarchical nanostructures with large specific areas.
