The Research on the Photocatalytic Performance of one Kind of Nano Zinc Oxide

Abstract:

This thesis is about preparing nano zinc oxide with multilayered cage-like structure by hydrothermal method, and characterizing the structure, composition, and the morphology of the product by means of XRD, SEM, EDS, TG-DTA, N2 absorption method and so on. The photocatalytic activities of ZnO with different morphologies have been evaluated. The result shows that, the multilayered cage-like nano ZnO has higher photocatalytic activity under the radiation of high-pressure mercury lamp; and its photocatalytic performance is better than ZnO nanorod. This method has following advantages: the process is simple and ecofriendly, it doesn't require the introduction of the surfactant, and it is convenient to be employed in mass production etc.
