2-D ZnO Nanostructures on Aluminum by Solution Method

Abstract:

Two-dimensional ZnO nanostructures with various morphologies were synthesized on aluminum by solution method at 90°C. In our experiment, 0.1M zinc chloride (ZnCl2) was used as a ZnO precursor, and different volume of ammonia solution (25％) was added to the solution. We characterize the morphology and nanostructure of 2-D ZnO nanostructures and study the growth mechanisms of these 2-D structures. It should be noted that the existence of Cl﹣ plays an important role on the formation of 2-D structures.
