Preparation of ZnO Nanostructures and their Self-Assembly

Article Preview

Abstract:

Well-defined ZnO nanostructures and their self-assembly have been fabricated directly on Zn foil via a hydrothermal synthesis method. (NH4)2S2O8 was introduced as the controllable reagent for the growth of ZnO. Nanorod-, nanowire- and nanobranch-like ZnO can be easily prepared. The experiment results indicated that the zinc oxide morphology and thier self-assemblied structures can be controlled by changing the reaction conditions. The effects of the concentration of NaOH, reaction temperature on the morphology of these nanostructures were investigated, and the possible mechanism of the ZnO nanostructures was proposed.
