Ag/ZnO nanoparticles can be obtained via photocatalytic reduction of silver nitrate at ZnO nanorods when a solution of AgNO3 and nanorods ZnO suspended in ethyleneglycol is exposed to daylight. The mean size of the deposited sphere like Ag particles
is about 5 nm. However, some of the particles can be as large as 20 nm. The ZnO nanorods were pre-prepared by basic precipitation
from zinc acetate di-hydrate in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide. They are
about 50–300 nm in length and 10–50 nm in width. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis
(EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and photoluminescence
(PL) were used to characterize the resulting Ag/ZnO nanocomposites. 相似文献

Needle-like nanorods and micron-scale flower-like structures of ZnO were synthesized by thermal evaporation of metallic zinc
films with different thicknesses, followed by thermal annealing. Needle-like nanorods of ZnO were found through out the sample
surface after annealing of the 1.3 μm thick Zn film. Three-dimensional crystalline nanorod-based flower-like structures of
ZnO were also observed after annealing of the relatively thick (3.3 μm) Zn film. Thermal annealing of the Zn films was done
at 800 °C in air for different time durations (30, 45, and 90 min). The flower size and number increase with increase in film
thickness for the same annealing temperature and time. The X-ray diffraction results show that both the needle-like nanorods
and flower-like structures are hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO. The room temperature PL spectrum shows a strong defect
related violet emission peak centered at 441 nm for both the structures. The possible growth process based on root growth
technique is proposed. 相似文献

ZnO nanorods were grown by cetyl trimethylammonium bromide assisted hydrothermal technique from a single molecular precursor.
The phase and structural analysis were carried out by X-ray diffraction technique and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. The
phase and structural analysis has suggested that as prepared nanorods have hexagonal wurzite structure. Morphology of the
nanorods was investigated by electron microscopy techniques which showed the formation of well dispersed nanorods of 100 ± 10 nm
in diameter and 900 ± 100 nm in length. Optical properties were investigated by photoluminescence spectroscopy. As prepared
ZnO nanorods have shown intense room temperature photoluminescence peak in the violet region at 403 nm. Absence of defect
mediated green luminescence peak suggests the formation of well crystalline ZnO nanorods without any impurities or structural
defects. 相似文献

Synthesis of ZnO nanorods from aqueous solution 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In the present work, crystalline one-dimensional ZnO nanorods were synthesized by a PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone)-assisted hydrothermal process with zinc acetate as the precursor. The major advantage of this technique is the use of water as the solvent: cheaper and more environmentally friendly than alcohol. The as-synthesized ZnO nanorods have diameters of 50-200 nm and lengths up to 5 μm. X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED), Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the structural and the chemical features of the ZnO nanorods. 相似文献

This article presents, the fabrication of perfectly hexagonal zinc oxide nanorods performed via solution process using zinc
nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) at various concentrations of i.e. 1 × 10−3 to 10 × 10−2 M in 50 mL distilled water and refluxed at 100 °C for 1 h. We used HMT because it acts as a template for the nucleation and
growth of zinc oxide nanorods, and it also works as a surfactant for the zinc oxide structures. The X-ray diffraction patterns
clearly reveal that the grown product is pure zinc oxide. The diameters and lengths of the synthesized nanorods lie in the
range of 200–800 nm and 2–4 μm, respectively as observed from the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The
morphological observation was also confirmed by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and clearly consistent with the
FESEM observations. The chemical composition was analyzed by the FTIR spectroscopy, and it shows the ZnO band at 405 cm−1. On the basis of these observations, the growth mechanism of ZnO nanostructures was also proposed. 相似文献

In the present work, we reported a novel method for the synthesis of well-dispersed flower-like ZnO microstructures derived from highly regulated, well-dispersed ZnO nanorods by using low temperature (100 °C) hydrothermal process and without using any additional surfactant, organic solvents or catalytic agent. The phase and structural analysis were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) which confirms the high crystal quality of ZnO with hexagonal (wurtzite-type) crystal structure. The morphological and structural analyses were carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) which indicate the formation of well-dispersed ZnO nanorods as well as flower-like ZnO. It has been shown that flower-like ZnO is made up of dozen of ZnO nanorods building block units. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and their corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern show that both ZnO nanorods and flower-like ZnO microstructures are single crystalline in nature and preferentially grow along [0 0 0 1] direction. Their optical property was characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy; shows ZnO nanorods have only violet emission and no other emission while flower-like ZnO microstructures have a weak violet emission and a strong visible emission. A plausible growth mechanism of ZnO nanorods as well as flower-like ZnO microstructures has been given. 相似文献

The fabrication of ZnO (80 nm) thin film was achieved by hybrid atomic layer deposition (ALD) to prevent the reaction between
the reactants and conductive layer of the substrates. ZnO nanorods (ZnO-NRs) growth over the substrates was performed by wet
chemical procedure in which Zn(NO3)2 and hexamethylenetetramine were used as the precursors. HR-TEM, SAED, FE-SEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV–Vis spectroscopy
were employed to characterize the ZnO-NRs samples on the substrates. XRD and HR-TEM analyses confirmed that the ZnO nanorod
structure is hexagonal wurtzite type with growth in the [0001] direction. Length and thickness of the ZnO-NRs ranged between
45 and 90 nm and 480 and 600 nm, respectively. It was observed that the growth rate of NRs in [0001] direction is 10 times
higher than in [1000] direction. The growth mechanism and resulted dimensions of nanorods are function of the synthesis parameters
(in hybrid ALD process) such as reaction time, temperature, precursor molar ratio, and thickness of ZnO film. 相似文献

ZnO nanorods have been synthesized over etch-patterned Si (110) wafer using annealed silver thin film as growth catalyst.
The growth of ZnO nanorods were performed by a two-step process. Initially, the deposition of Zn thin film was done on the
annealed silver catalyst film over etch-patterned Si (110) substrate by thermal evaporation, and then annealed at 800°C in
air. The etching of the patterned Si (110) wafers was carried out by 50% aqueous KOH solution. The samples were investigated
by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and room temperature photoluminescence
spectroscopy. ‘V’ shaped grooves with no undercut were formed after etching due to the anisotropic nature of the KOH etchant.
The etch-patterned wafer was used to provide larger surface area for ZnO growth by forming ‘V’-grooves. This ZnO film may
be predicted as a very good material for gas sensor. 相似文献

Single crystalline and highly aligned ZnO nanorods, faceted microrods, nanoneedles and nanotowers were grown onto glass substrates
by a facile aqueous chemical method at relatively low temperature (90 °C). Various structure directing agents or organic surfactants
such as diaminopropane (DAP), polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyethylenimine (PEI) were used to modify the surface morphology.
The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical absorption. It was
found that, vertically aligned ZnO nanorods formation takes place with preferential orientation along (002) plane. The organic
surfactants play an important role in modifying the morphology. The samples were further used to fabricate dye sensitized
solar cells. The highest photocurrent (670 μA) and efficiency were observed for the ZnO:PEI sample. 相似文献

ZnO nanocrystals have been synthesized by ultrasound-assisted synthesis from Zn(CH3COO)22H2O and NaOH in the neat room-temperature ionic-liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide, [C4mim][Tf2N]. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that the formed ZnO nanocrystals are of rod like shape with lengths from 50 to 100 nm and diameters of about 20 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms the crystallinity as well as the sample purity. The band gap of the as-prepared ZnO nanorods was estimated to be 3.31 eV from UV–Vis absorption measurements. The photoluminescence spectrum shows the characteristic greenish emission of ZnO at room temperature (λmax = 563 nm). The ZnO bonding levels have been determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements show typical samples to have a specific surface area of 49.93 m2/g. 相似文献

Plasmonic field absorption enhancement (PFAE) of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) periodic arrays in CdSe-quantum dot (QD) sensitized ZnO nanorods was numerically investigated by the three-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD). The Ag NPs with spherical morphology were found to have an optimum PFAE compared to other Ag NP morphologies such as cubic and pyramidal. The results also showed that PFAE intensity in CdSe-QD-sensitized ZnO nanorods is increased with the reduction of Ag NP diameter until 10 nm and decreases thereafter. Moreover, the optimum density of spherical Ag NPs for optimum PFAE was observed as 20%. PFAE in CdSe-QD-sensitized ZnO nanorods is improved with increasing space between ZnO nanorods until 180 nm and reduces thereafter. Finally, the results showed that PFAE of Ag NPs for the high distance between ZnO nanorods is dependent on radiation angle; while for the low distance between ZnO nanorods it is free of radiation angle. 相似文献

Perpendicularly aligned arrays of corrugated ZnO nanorods were grown onto gold patterned LiTaO3 substrates, coated with a sputtered ZnO seed layer. During the growth process, these substrates were held submerged in an aqueous solution comprising a 1:40 mol ratio mix of zinc nitrate hexahydrate to sodium hydroxide. The substrates were placed in a custom apparatus residing in an autoclavable storage bottle. Scanning electron micrographs, which were taken at different deposition intervals, suggest that the growth mechanism of ZnO nanorods initiates with the etching of the ZnO sputtered seed layer into hexagonal bases (> 500 nm across), from where multiple protrusions (40 nm-100 nm in width) grow atop these hexagonal bases. Such nanoprotrusions later coalesce into larger nanorods. Uniformly distributed high density corrugated nanorods, with proximal spacing between adjacent nanorods of approximately 20 nm-50 nm, were observed over the entire surface. 相似文献

ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized on glass substrates coated by a ZnO seeding layer via a hydrothermal technique by adding polyethyleneimine (PEI) to the growth solution. The XRD and SEM results show that the ZnO nanorods have the single crystal wurtzite structure with the (0 0 2) direction normal to the substrates. In 50 ml growth solution of 0.05 M zinc salts, the average diameter of the nanorods was reduced drastically from 300 nm to 40 nm with the PEI amount increasing from 0 ml to 6 ml. The diameter distribution and the polycrystalline layer at the bottom of the nanorods were improved. Longer nanorods were obtained by prolonging the growth time. Based on the results, possible mechanisms that PEI adsorbs on the non-polar facets of ZnO nanorods and its coordination to zinc ions were proposed to elucidate the effect of PEI on reducing the diameters and improving the morphologies of nanorods. 相似文献

Distinctive zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystals were synthesized on the surface of Zn probes using a counter-flow flame medium formed by methane/acetylene and oxygen-enriched air streams. The source material, a zinc wire with a purity of ~99.99% and diameter of 1 mm, was introduced through a sleeve into the oxygen rich region of the flame. The position of the probe/sleeve was varied within the flame medium resulting in growth variation of ZnO nanocrystals on the surface of the probe. The shape and structural parameters of the grown crystals strongly depend on the flame position. Structural variations of the synthesized crystals include single-crystalline ZnO nanorods and microprisms (ZMPs) (the ZMPs have less than a few micrometers in length and several hundred nanometers in cross section) with a large number of facets and complex axial symmetry with a nanorod protruding from their tips. The protruding rods are less than 100 nm in diameter and lengths are less than 1 μm. The protruding nanorods can be elongated several times by increasing the residence time of the probe/sleeve inside the oxygen-rich flame or by varying the flame position. At different flame heights, nanorods having higher length-to-diameter aspect-ratio can be synthesized. A lattice spacing of ~0.26 nm was measured for the synthesized nanorods, which can be closely correlated with the (0 0 2) interplanar spacing of hexagonal ZnO (Wurtzite) cells. The synthesized nanostructures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HR-TEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and selected area electron diffraction pattern (SAED). The growth mechanism of the ZnO nanostructures is discussed. 相似文献

We report growth of ZnO nanorods by low temperature (<100°C) solution growth method. The substrates (Si, glass and fused Quartz)
were seeded by pre-coating with ZnO nanoparticles (4–7 nm diameter) prepared by chemical precipitation route. Nanorods were
grown on the seeded substrate in aqueous solution of Zinc Nitrate and Hexamethylenetetramine (HMT). The growth process lasts
for up to 8 h and at the maximum time of growth, the nanorods have a width of ∼230–250 nm and length of ∼1.5–1.6 μm. The growth
process after some initial growth (<2 h) preserves the aspect ratio and leads to about 90% texturing along the (002) direction.
The growth of the nanorods was studied with time and observed growth data suggests a two-stage growth process. The nanorods
have a well-defined hexagonal morphology and have a Wurtzite structure. The nanorods were characterized by different techniques
and have a band gap of 3.25 eV. 相似文献

This paper reports additive-free, reproducible, low-temperature solution-based process for the preparation of crystalline ZnO nanorods by homogeneous precipitation from zinc acetate. Also, ZnO nanorod structured dye sensitized solar cells using ruthenium dye (Z907) have been fabricated and characterized. The formation and growth of zinc oxide nanorods are successfully achieved. We analyzed three different synthesis method using solution phase, autoclave and microwave. The calcination effects on the morphology of ZnO nanorods are also investigated. Analysis of ZnO nanorods shows that calcination at lower temperature is resulted in a nanorod growth. Additive-free, well-aligned ZnO nanorods are obtained with the length of 330–558 nm and diameters of 14–36 nm. The XRD, SEM, and PL spectra have been provided for the characterization of ZnO nanorods. Microwave-assisted ZnO nanostructured dye sensitized solar cell devices yielded a short-circuit photocurrent density of 6.60 mA/cm2, an open-circuit voltage of 600 mV, and a fill factor of 0.59, corresponding to an overall conversion efficiency of 2.35% under standard AM 1.5 sun light. 相似文献

In the paper, a simple microwave-assisted decomposing reaction in the presence of PEG400 has been successfully developed to synthesize ZnO nanorods with 10-25 nm of diameter and 60-200 nm of length. The product was analyzed and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and HRTEM. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption peak of ZnO nanorods shows a distinct blue shift from that of the bulk and the Photoluminescence (PL) spectrum exhibits a strong near-band-edge emission at 385 nm. Further experiments have also been designed, and the results show that microwave radiation and surfactant PEG400 all played an important role on the formation of ZnO nanorods. 相似文献

ZnO nanorods were synthesized by aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition onto TiO2 covered borosilicate glass substrates. Deposition parameters were optimized and kept constant. Solely the effect of different nozzle velocities on the growth of ZnO nanorods was evaluated in order to develop a dense and uniform structure. The crystalline structure was characterized by conventional X-ray diffraction in grazing incidence and Bragg–Brentano configurations. In addition, two-dimensional grazing incidence synchrotron radiation diffraction was employed to determine the preferred growth direction of the nanorods. Morphology and growth characteristics analyzed by electron microscopy were correlated with diffraction outcomes. Chemical composition was established by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction results and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed the presence of wurtzite ZnO and anatase TiO2 phases. Morphological changes noticed when the deposition velocity was lowered to the minimum, indicated the formation of relatively vertically oriented nanorods evenly distributed onto the TiO2 buffer film. By coupling two-dimensional X-ray diffraction and computational modeling with ANAELU it was proved that a successful texture determination was achieved and confirmed by scanning electron microscopy analysis. Texture analysis led to the conclusion of a preferred growth direction in [001] having a distribution width Ω = 20° ± 2°. 相似文献

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide nanopowders were prepared using a surfactant assisted complex sol–gel method, and were characterized
using inductively coupled plasma, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Al was effectively doped into the ZnO matrix with concentrations up to
6.00 atomic ratio percents (at.%). X-ray diffraction results revealed that all of the nanoparticles had a pure hexagonal wurtzite
structure free of any impurities when annealing temperature was below 1273 K. The optical band gap of the nanopowders, which
was affected by the Al-doping concentration, reached a maximum of 3.43 eV when ZnO was doped with 4.00 at.% Al. The effect
of post-annealing temperature and vacuum conditions on the resistivities of the Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles was also investigated.
And the lowest volume resistivity (1.2 Ω cm) was achieved by annealing the Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles in a vacuum at 1173 K
for 2 h. 相似文献

Mn-doped ZnO nanorods with ~30 nm in diameter and ~200 nm in length were synthesized by a seed-mediated solution method. The structures, magnetic properties, as well as the annealing effect were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectrum and physical properties measurement system. Magnetic properties measurement revealed that the Zn0.97Mn0.03O nanorods exhibited ferromagnetism with a saturation magnetization of 0.005 emu g?1 and a coercivity of 110 Oe at 305 K. After annealing the samples at 900 °C for 2 h in air, the nanorods were transformed into nanoparticle aggregates. The coercivity and saturation magnetization increased obviously. Detailed analyses proved that a phase-separation process was happened at the high temperature. In this process, most of the particles preserved the wurtzite ZnO structure, while a few small ones evolved into spinel-structured particles. The increasing of the ferromagnetism of the annealed sample is attributed to the formation of secondary phase ZnxMn3?xO4. 相似文献
