Investigation of Nucleation Mechanism and Tapering Observed in ZnO Nanowire Growth by Carbothermal Reduction Technique
ZnO nanowire nucleation mechanism and initial stages of nanowire growth using the carbothermal reduction technique are studied confirming the involvement of the catalyst at the tip in the growth process. Role of the Au catalyst is further confirmed when the tapering observed in the nanowires can be explained by the change in the shape of the catalyst causing a variation of the contact area at t...
متن کاملIn Situ Investigation of the Carbothermal Reduction of ZnO Nanowires
Carbothermal reduction is among the oldest chemical processes, commonly used in the production of metals from the corresponding metal oxides or ores (e.g., iron from iron oxides). By using carbon as a reducing agent, decomposition of metal oxides at temperatures much lower than their typical decomposition temperatures can occur. However, a detailed fundamental understanding of such a reaction p...

متن کاملFabrication of Microfibre-nanowire Junction Arrays of ZnO/SnO2 Composite by the Carbothermal Evaporation Method
A cotton-like ZnO/SnO2 nanocomposite was grown by the carbothermal evaporation of a mixture of ZnO and SnO2 powders at 1100oC by the vapour-liquidsolid process, in which the Sn particles produced by the reduction of SnO2 act as the catalyst. Field-emission scanning electron microscope images suggest that the composites are made of microfibre-nanowire junction arrays. The structure is formed due...
متن کاملSynthesis of HfB2 Powders by Carbothermal Reduction
In this research, solid state carbothermal synthesis of HfB2 Nano powders was investigated. For this purpose, HfO2,H3BO3, carbon active or phenolic resin were used as raw materials for carbothermal reaction. After 2-4 hours of milling the raw materials by a planetary ball in an ethanol media, the mixture was heat dried and pressed in to disks under pressure of 20-30 bar. The disks were then pla...
