Heterogeneous ZnS hollow urchin-like hierarchical nanostructures and their structure-enhanced photocatalytic properties.

چکیده
Hexagonal wurtzite ZnS nanowires radially arrayed on cubic zinc-blende ZnS hollow spheres have been successfully achieved for the first time, and such novel heterogeneous ZnS hollow urchin-like hierarchical nanostructures show greatly enhanced photocatalytic properties due to their two-phase enhanced light-harvesting and high surface-to-volume ratio.

We report the synthesis of nitrogen-doped urchin-like rutile TiO2 nanostructure at room temperature without further heat treatment. The process was operated through hydrolysis of Ti(OC4H9)4 employing the direct amination of the product. The samples characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and Brunaue...

متن کاملLow-temperature, template-free synthesis of wurtzite ZnS nanostructures with hierarchical architectures
Hierarchical wurtzite ZnS architectures assembled from nanosheets and nanorods, such as branched flowers and fluffy solid and hollow spheres, have been synthesized by a facile, template-free, low-temperature solution route. The growth of wurtzite ZnS nanostructures at temperatures as low as 4 ◦C without any organic additives has been realized by the slow reaction between Zn(NH3) 2+ 4 and thioac...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic outcomes for methylene blue degradation from CTAB mediated mesoporous ZnS, synthesized with an insoluble precursor in ethanol media
The aim of the present study is to demonstrate how mesoporous nanostructures of Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) will precipitate in an ethanol media in spite of negligible solubility of Sodium Nitrate (Na2S), which is role-played as sulfur precursor. On the following, the role of such synthesizing method on the photocatalytic behavior of ZnS mesoporous nanostructures has been investigated. Characterization ...
