We propose a concept for the design and fabrication of metal nanowires having periodically hollow nanostructures inside the pores of an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane using a sacrificial metal. In this study, nickel (Ni) and silver (Ag) were used as the base metal and the sacrificial metal, respectively. Alternating an applied potential between -0.4 and -1.0 V provided alternatively depos...

Here, we have synthesized Ag2O3-ZnO nanocones (NCs) by a wet-chemical route using reducing agents at low temperature. The structural, optical and morphological properties of Ag2O3-ZnO NCs were investigated by several conventional techniques such as powder XRD, XPS, FESEM, XEDS, FTIR and UV/vis. spectroscopy. The analytical parameters of prepared NCs were also calculated for a selective detectio...

ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized by a simple reflux method, using different ionic liquids, such as 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BzMIM][Br]), 1,1'-(1,4 phenylenebis (methylene)) bis (3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) bromide ([MM-1,4-DBzIM2][Br]2) and 1-phenacyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([PMIM][Br]), with different amount of sodium hydroxide in water. Als...

Highly pure ZnO nanowires at the junctions of nanowalls have been successfully prepared via a simple vapor phase route at relative low temperature in the absence of catalyst. SEM, TEM, Raman scattering and PL were employed to characterize asgrown samples. The nanowires have average diameter of 10 nm with [001] growth direction. Raman scattering shifted from higher frequency to lower frequency a...

Nanostructure integration within microfluidic device has a great potential for substantial improvement of performance and widening of applications by taking advantages of unique nanoscale material properties. We introduce a novel and simple method for the integration of functional nanowires by controlled hydrothermal reaction within microfluidic device. By modulating synthesis parameters such a...

Hierarchical Si/ZnO trunk-branch nanostructures (NSs) have been synthesized by hot wire assisted chemical vapor deposition method for trunk Si nanowires (NWs) on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate and followed by the vapor transport condensation (VTC) method for zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods (NRs) which was laterally grown from each Si nanowires (NWs). A spin coating method has been used for zinc oxi...

ABSTRACT. In this work, synthesized carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are used to form ZnO/CQDs nanocomposite. The characterization of nanocomposite using X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that ZnO NPs have the same profile, suggesting presence CQDs does not impinge crystal structure in Besides, an analysis performed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) displa...

In this paper, a semiconducting photonic nanostructure capable of wide range absorption and tunable optical resonance has been designed with a proposed theoretical optimization model. The design consists of ZnO/CdS core-shell nanowire arrays as well as multilayer thin films that act to absorb incident electromagnetic (EM) waves over a broad frequency range. Theoretical, as well as numerical, st...

Wastewater from many sectors that contains hazardous organic pollutants exacerbates environmental contamination. Consequently, outstanding photocatalytic substances can successfully degrade are needed to provide pollution-free water. From this perspective, zinc oxide/g-C3N4-based composites desirable due their low cost, strong reactivity, and friendliness. So, in the current investigation, sequ...
