TA Assisted Synthesis and Properties of Porous ZnO

Abstract:

Multihole ZnO hierarchical architectures were prepared by tartaric acid assisted hydrothermal synthesis, TA acts as a capping agent and structure-directing agent during the synthesis. Hydrazine acts as alkali source. XRD confirmed that that all ZnO possess the hexagonal wurtzite structure, and the crystalline of the sample turns better after annealed. The PL spectra can be tuned by changing TA concentration. The FTIR spectra of ZnO nanostructures shows the main absorbance peaks of all samples are located at about 547 cm−1, which are attributed to the vibrations of elongation of ZnO without any other bonds.
