Growth and Characterization of Misostructural Zinc Oxide Tubes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Zinc oxide (ZnO) microtube has been fabricated by heating the mixture of ZnO and graphite powders in the atmosphere. The ZnO microtubes showed perfect hexagonal profiles with bell-mouth or normal hexagonal tops. Both X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that the product was composed of ZnO with typical hexagonal structure grown predominantly along (002) direction. The growth process was interpreted by means of vaporliquid-solid mechanism combining with the evaporation of metallic zinc.
