Hydrothermal synthesis of zinc oxide nanostructures

Semiconductors with dimensions in the nanometer realm are important because their electrical, optical and chemical properties can be tuned by changing the size of the particles. These nanostructures have attracted much interest due to their fundamental importance in bridging the gap between bulk matter and molecular species [199, 200]. Optical properties of nanoparticles are of great interest f...

Zinc oxide nanostructures: growth, properties and applications

Zinc oxide is a unique material that exhibits semiconducting and piezoelectric dual properties. Using a solid–vapour phase thermal sublimation technique, nanocombs, nanorings, nanohelixes/nanosprings, nanobelts, nanowires and nanocages of ZnO have been synthesized under specific growth conditions. These unique nanostructures unambiguously demonstrate that ZnO probably has the richest family of ...

Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticle by zinc acetate precursor and study on its catalytic properties

ZnO nanoparticles have been prepared by a simple method in a short period of time. In this synthetic method, the sample was obtained using Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O and a new template of hexamine salt. Their crystalline structure and morphology were studied by XRD and SEM. The optical properties of the sample were studied by UV–visible spectroscopy. The absorption spectr...
