چکیده

Silver nitrate induces spontaneous room temperature transformation of ZIF-8 into a composite of ZnO nanorods embedded in a ZIF-8 matrix. This first example of reverse transformation of ZIF-8 into ZnO is a convenient method for generating fixed ZnO nanoparticles in powders as well as films and coatings. The fabricated ZnO nanorod@ZIF-8 is photocatalytically active.

Dimethylamine Controlled Sol-Gel Process to Grow ZnO Nanorods

ZnO nanorods were prepared using dimethylamine (DMA) controlled Sol-Gel process. Dimethylamine was added as an additive to control the sol-gel process for growing ZnO nanorods. DMA would exhibit stabilizing effect, promote dissolution of precursor and control the rate of sol-gel reactions because of its basic nature and significant miscibility. The Structural and microstructural properties of t...

Facile and Efficient Self-template Synthesis of Core-coronal-shell ZnO@ZIF-8 Nanohybrid Using Ascorbic Acid and its Application for Arsenic Removal

In the present contribution, a facile and efficient protocol for synthesis a nanohybrid structure of core-coronal-shell ZnO@ZIF-8 using ascorbic acid (ZnO@AA/ZIF-8) as a new adsorbent for arsenic removal from water has been represented. For this purpose, the ZnO nanospheres were synthesized by a green and simple method followed by coating with ascorbic acid (AA) to modify their surface to achie...

Influence of Cr dopant on the microstructure and optical properties of ZnO nanorods

One-dimensional (1D) undoped and Cr doped ZnO nanorods with average length of 1 µm and diameter of 80 nm were synthesized using hydrothermal method where a fast growth of ZnO nanorods on the seed layer was observed. Afterwards, the effects of Cr dopant on structural, surface morphology and optical properties of nanorods were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (S...
