In this paper, Mg-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by the facile sol–gel method. The crystalline structure, characteristic absorption bands and morphology of the obtained Mg-doped ZnO nanoparticles were studied by XRD, FTIR and TEM. The thermal degradation behaviour of the samples was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). The effect of Mg concentrations and annealing temperatures on the antibacterial properties of the obtained nanoparticles was investigated in detail. The results indicated that doping Mg ions into ZnO lattice could enhance its antibacterial activity. Antibacterial assay demonstrated that Mg-doped ZnO with 7% Mg content annealed at 400 °C had the strongest antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes (98.7%). This study indicated that the inhibition rate of ZnO nanoparticles increased with the formation of granular structure and the decrease of ZnO size due to the doping of Mg ions into the ZnO lattice. 相似文献

ZnO nanostructures including nanorods, dense, and partially hollow spheres were synthesized via a solution synthesis method
with temperature ranging from 65 to 95 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the diameter of the spheres is
in the range of 200–500 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that some of the spheres are hollow or partially
hollow. Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and TEM-Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis showed that the spheres
consist of polycrystalline nanoparticles. It was found for the first time that the agitation during the synthesis plays a
critical role on morphology of the ZnO nanostructures formed in solution. The oriented attachment of nanocrystals without
agitation during the synthesis could guide the nanocrystals to form an ordered nanorod structure. However, the disordered
aggregation of the nanocrystals under shear force resulted in a spherical morphology. It was also found that the composition
of spheres is different from that of nanorods: the spheres consist of both ZnO and Zn(OH)2, but nanorods consist of single-crystal ZnO only. Zn(OH)2 presented in the spheres could decompose to ZnO by calcination, resulting in the formation of hollow spheres. 相似文献

Solid and hollow YF3:Eu3+ spheres assembled by nanorods have been successfully synthesized via a facile arginine-assisted hydrothermal method and followed
by a subsequent heat-treatment process. The experimental results reveal that the as-prepared YF3:Eu3+ spheres are composed of the nanorods with a diameter of 20–50 nm and a length of 200–500 nm, the morphologies of YF3:Eu3+ have been changed from solid to hollow spheres assembled by nanorods. With increase of hydrothermal temperature and time,
the diameter of YF3:Eu3+ spheres can be controlled from 300 to 800 nm. The solid and hollow spheres show an intense orange red emission peak near
595 nm, corresponding to the 5D0 → 7F1 transition of Eu3+. The possible formation mechanism for the hollow spheres has been presented in detail. This amine acid-assisted method is
very simple, economic and environmental friendly for organic-free solvent, which would be potentially used in synthesizing
other hollow materials. 相似文献

Polycrystalline magnetite hollow spheres with diameter of about 200 nm and shell thickness of 30–60 nm were prepared via a
facile solution route. For the reaction, ethylene glycol (EG) served as the reducing agent and soldium acetate played the
role of precipitator. In addition, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) served as a surface stabilizer. The morphologies and structures
were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The intermediate
products at different stages were also studied to shed light on the evolution of phase formation. It revealed that the hollow
structure formed via self-assembly of nanocrystallites (about 15 nm) using sodium acetate as mild precipitator. Evidences
further pointed out that the Ostwald ripening process well explained the growth mechanism of the hollow structure. Magnetization
measurements showed that the coercivity of magnetite hollow spheres at low temperature is about 200 Oe and the saturation
magnetization is about 83 emu g−1, roughly 85% that of the bulk phase, close to the value of its solid counterpart. In addition, a freezing transition was
observed at 25 K. 相似文献

This work investigates cobalt doped ZnO nanoparticles prepared by using wet chemical methods. The nanoparticles have a typical
size of 3–8 nm. The electronic structure as well as the optical and magnetic properties of Co2+ have been characterized. X-ray diffraction spectra of the powder show wurtzite ZnO with no secondary Co phases. In the energy
range below the bandgap, the optical absorption spectra show the internal d–d transitions related to Co2+ incorporated on the Zn lattice site in ZnO. Low temperature photoluminescence measurements confirm these results. Based on
the analysis of the g-valuesfor bulk ZnO:Co., electron paramagnetic resonance measurements coincide with the simulation of
Co-doped ZnO powder. Thus far, no evidence for ferromagnetism has been obtained.

ZnO nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanowalls were synthesized rapidly on Si via thermal decomposition of zinc acetate by a
modified chemical vapor deposition at a low substrate temperature of 200–250°C for the first time. The diameters of the synthesized
nanoparticles and nanowires are around 100 and 30 nm, respectively, and the thickness of nanowalls is around 20 nm. High-resolution
transmission electron microscopy shows that the nanowires as well as nanowalls are single-crystalline, and the nanoparticles
are highly-textured poly-crystalline structures. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of the nanostructures show strong
ultraviolet emissions centered at 368–383 nm and weak violet emissions at around 425 nm, indicating good crystal quality.
The study provides a simple and efficient route to synthesize ZnO diverse nanostructures at low temperature. 相似文献

In this study, we report the synthesis of well-aligned nanocrystalline hexagonal zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles by facile
solid-state and co-precipitation method. The co-precipitation reactions were performed using aqueous and ethylene glycol (EG)
medium using zinc acetate and adipic acid to obtain zinc adipate and further decomposition at 450 °C to confer nanocrystalline
ZnO hexagons. XRD shows the hexagonal wurtzite structure of the ZnO. Thermal study reveals complete formation of ZnO at 430 °C
in case of solid-state method, whereas in case of co-precipitation method complete formation was observed at 400 °C. Field
emission scanning electron microscope shows spherical morphology for ZnO synthesized by solid-state method. The aqueous-mediated
ZnO by co-precipitation method shows rod-like morphology. These rods are formed via self assembling of spherical nanoparticles,
however, uniformly dispersed spherical crystallites were seen in EG-mediated ZnO. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) investigations
clearly show well aligned and highly crystalline transparent and thin hexagonal ZnO. The particle size was measured using
TEM and was observed to be 50–60 nm in case of solid-state method and aqueous-mediated co-precipitation method, while 25–50 nm
in case of EG-mediated co-precipitation method. UV absorption spectra showed sharp absorption peaks with a blue shift for
EG-mediated ZnO, which demonstrate the mono-dispersed lower particle size. The band gap of the ZnO was observed to be 3.4 eV
which is higher than the bulk, implies nanocrystalline nature of the ZnO. The photoluminescence studies clearly indicate the
strong violet and weak blue emission in ZnO nanoparticles which is quite unique. The process investigated may be useful to
synthesize other oxide semiconductors and transition metal oxides. 相似文献

Hollow ZnO microspheres assembled by nanoparticles have been prepared by a sonochemical synthesis at room temperature using carbon spheres as template. The growth process of the precursor was investigated. The prepared hollow spheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The diameter of the obtained hollow spheres is about 500 nm, and the walls are composed of numerous ZnO aggregate nanocrystallines with diameters of 90 nm. A possible growth mechanism for the formation of ZnO microspheres has been proposed, in which carbon spheres play a crucial role in the formation of the wurtzite hollow ZnO microspheres. The specific structure of the hollow spheres may find applications in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and nanomedicine. 相似文献

Core–shell multifunctional composite spheres consisting of Fe3O4–polyaniline (PANi) shell and polystyrene (PS) core were fabricated using core–shell-structured sulfonated PS spheres (with
uniform diameter of 250 nm) as templates. PANi was doped in situ by sulfonic acid resulting the composite spheres are well
conductive. Dissolved with solvent, PS cores were removed from the core–shell composite spheres and hollow Fe3O4–PANi spheres were obtained. Removing the PANi and PS components by calcinations produced hollow Fe3O4 spheres. The cavity size of the hollow spheres was uniformly approximate to 190 nm and the shell thickness was 30 nm. The
cavity size and the shell thickness can be synchronously controlled by varying the sulfonation time of the PS templates. The
shell thickness in size range was of 20–86 nm when the sulfonation time was changed from 1 to 4 h. These resulting spheres
could be arranged in order by self-assembly of the templates. Both the Fe3O4–PANi/PS composite spheres and the hollow Fe3O4 spheres exhibit a super-paramagnetic behavior. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray powder scattering were used to characterize these as-prepared spheres.

Abstract ZnO nanoparticles with average diameter of 12 nm were used to fabricate ZnO photoanodes by electrohydrodynamic (EHD)
technique for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). To enhance the light scattering and conversion efficiency, the ZnO film
with scattering hollow cavities (HCs) was realized by calcining polystyrene spheres (PSs) in the film. The films had strong
light scattering ability and the overall light to electricity conversion efficiency (η) was improved and reached 5.5% under illumination of simulated solar light (AM-1.5, 100 mW/cm2). 相似文献

Room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed in Zn0.9Co0.1O nanorods with diameters and lengths of ∼100–200 nm and ∼200–1000 nm, respectively. Nanorods were synthesized by a simple
sol–gel method using metal acetylacetonate powders of Zn and Co and poly(vinyl alcohol) gel. The XRD, FT-IR and SAED analyses
indicated that the nanorods calcined at 873–1073 K have the pure ZnO wurtzite structure without any significant change in
the structure affected by Co substitution. Optical absorption measurements showed absorption bands indicating the presence
of Co2+ in substitution of Zn2+. The specific magnetization of the nanorods appeared to increase with a decrease in the lattice constant c of the wurtzite unit cell with the highest value being at 873 K calcination temperature. This magnetic behavior is similar
to that of Zn0.9Co0.1O nanoparticles prepared by polymerizable precursor method. We suggest that this behavior might be related to hexagonal c-axis being favorable direction of magnetization in Co-doped ZnO and the 873 K (energy of 75 meV) being close to the exciton/donor
binding energy of ZnO. 相似文献

Magnetic nanoshells composed of close-packed cobalt–silica nanoparticles have been successfully fabricated on silica spheres.
The synthesis is facile and no high pressure, high temperature, or other severe reaction conditions were required. TEM images
showed that two batches of the hollow-structured products have a good spherical morphology with an average diameter of 380
and 550 nm, respectively. The surface area and magnetic properties of cobalt–silica nanoshells are measured. By varying the
times of the precipitation procedure, the shell thickness is successfully controlled within the 5–30 nm range and each time
of procedure might increase the thickness about 5 nm. It is expected that the in situ reaction method can be extended to the
synthesis of other hollow metal spheres. The prepared microcapsule with controllable shell thickness and interspaces has the
potential to be used for controlled release applications. 相似文献

In the present paper, ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) with particle size of 20–50 nm have been synthesized by hydrothermal method.
UV-visible absorption spectra of ZnO nanoparticles show absorption edge at 372 nm, which is blue-shifted as compared to bulk
ZnO. Photoluminescence (PL) and photoconductive device characteristics, including field response, light intensity response,
rise and decay time response, and spectral response have been studied systematically. The photoluminescence spectra of these
ZnO nanoparticles exhibited different emission peaks at 396 nm, 416 nm, 445 nm, 481 nm, and 524 nm. The photoconductivity
spectra of ZnO nanoparticles are studied in the UV-visible spectral region (366–691 nm). In spectral response curve of ZnO
NPs, the wavelength dependence of the photocurrent is very close to the absorption and photoluminescence spectra. The photo
generated current, Ipc = (Itotal - Idark) and dark current Idc varies according to the power law with the applied field IpcαVr and with the intensity of illumination IpcαIL
r, due to the defect related mechanism including both recombination centers and traps. The ZnO NPs is found to have deep trap
of 0.96 eV, very close to green band emission. The photo and dark conductivities of ZnO NPs have been measured using thick
film of powder without any binder. 相似文献

ZnO nanostructures were synthesized through arc discharge of zinc electrodes in deionized (DI) water. X-ray diffraction (XRD)
analysis of the prepared nanostructures indicates formation of crystalline ZnO of hexagonal lattice structures. Transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) images illustrate rod-like as well as semi spherical ZnO nanoparticles with 15–20 nm diameter range,
which were formed during the discharge process with 5 A arc current. The average particle size was found to increase with
the increasing arc current. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirms formation of ZnO at the surface of the
nanoparticles. Surface area of the sample prepared at 5 A arc current, measured by BET analysis, was 34 m2/g. Photodegradation of Rhodamine B (Rh. B) shows that the prepared samples at lower currents have a higher photocatalytic
activity due to larger surface area and smaller particle size. 相似文献

Nano-sized ZnO particles with a narrow size distribution and high crystallinity were prepared from aqueous solutions with
high concentrations of Zn2+ containing salts and citric acid in a conventional spray pyrolysis setup. Structure, morphology and size of the produced
material were compared to ZnO material produced by simple spray pyrolysis of zinc nitrates in the same experimental setup.
Using transmission electron microscopy and electron tomography it has been shown that citric acid-assisted spray pyrolysed
material is made up of micron sized secondary particles comprising a shell of lightly agglomerated, monocrystalline primary
ZnO nanoparticles with sizes in the 20–30 nm range, separable by a simple ultrasonic treatment step. 相似文献

Material property dependence on the OH−/Zn2+ molar ratio of the precursor was investigated by varying the amount of NaOH during synthesis of ZnO. It was necessary to
control the water content and temperature of the mixture to ensure the reproducibility. It was observed that the structural
properties, particle size, photoluminescence intensity and wavelength of maximum intensity were influenced by the molar ratio
of the precursor. The XRD spectra for ZnO nanoparticles show the entire peaks corresponding to the various planes of wurtzite
ZnO, indicating a single phase. UV measurements show the absorption that comes from the ZnO nanoparticles in visible region.
The absorption edge of these ZnO nanoparticles are shifted to higher energies and the determined band gap energies are blue
shifted as the OH−/Zn2 molar ration increases, due to the quantum confinement effects. The photoluminescence characterization of the ZnO nanostructures
exhibited a broad emission band centred at green (600 nm) region for all molar ratios except for OH−/Zn2+ = 1.7 where a second blue emission around 468 nm was also observed. The photoluminescence properties of ZnO nanoparticles
were largely determined by the size and surface properties of the nanoparticles. 相似文献

Direct synthesis of ZnS nanocrystallites doped with Ti3+ or Ti4+ by precipitation has led to novel photoluminescence properties. Detailed X-ray diffraction (XRD), fluorescence spectrophotometry,
UV–vis spectrophotometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis reveal the crystal lattice structure, average
size, emission spectra, absorption spectra and composition. The average crystallite size doped with different mole ratios,
estimated from the Debye–Scherrer formula, is about 2.6±0.2 nm. The nanoparticles can be doped with Ti3+ and Ti4+ during the synthesis without the X-ray diffraction pattern being altered. The strong and stable visible-light emission has
been observed from ZnS nanocrystallites doped with Ti3+ (its maximum fluorescence intensity is about twice that of undoped ZnS nanoparticles). However, the fluorescence intensity
of the ZnS nanocrystallites doped with Ti4+ is almost the same as that of the undoped ZnS nanoparticles. The emission peak of the undoped sample is at 440–450 nm. The
emission spectrum of the doped sample consists of two emission peaks, one at 420–430 nm and the other at 510 nm.

A wet chemical deposition method for preparing transparent conductive thin films on the base of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) nanoparticles
has been demonstrated. AZO nanoparticles with a size of 7 nm have been synthesised by a simple precipitation method in refluxed
conditions in ethanol using zinc acetate and Al-isopropylate. The presence of Al in ZnO was revealed by the EDX elemental
analysis (1.8 at.%) and UV–Vis spectroscopy (a blue shift due to Burstein–Moss effect). The obtained colloid solution with
the AZO nanoparticles was used for preparing by spin-coating thin films on glass substrates. The film demonstrated excellent
homogeneity and transparency (T > 90%) in the visible spectrum after heating at 400 °C. Its resistivity turned to be excessively high (ρ = 2.6 Ω cm) that
we ascribe to a poor charge percolation due to a high film porosity revealed by SEM observations. To improve the percolation
via reducing the porosity, a sol–gel solution was deposited “layer-by-layer” in alternation with layers derived from the AZO
colloid followed by heating. As it was shown by optical spectroscopy measurements, the density of thus prepared film was increased
more than twice leading to a significant decrease in resistivity to 1.3 × 10−2 Ω cm. 相似文献

This paper reports the synthesis and optical properties of nanocrystalline ZnO powders with crystallite sizes of 32.5 (±1.4)–43.4
(±0.4) nm prepared by a direct thermal decomposition of zinc acetate at the temperatures of 400, 500, 600, and 700°C for 4
h. The structure of the prepared samples was studied by XRD and FTIR spectroscopy, confirming the formation of wurtzite structure.
The morphology of the samples revealed by SEM was affected by the thermal decomposition temperature, causing the formations
of both nanoparticles and nanorods with different size and shape in the samples. The synthesized powders exhibited the UV
absorption below 400 nm (3.10 eV) with a well defined absorption peak at around 285 nm (4.35 eV). The estimated direct bandgaps
were obtained to be 3.19, 3.16, 3.14, and 3.13 eV for the ZnO samples thermally decomposed at 400, 500, 600, and 700°C, respectively.
All the samples exhibited room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) showing a strong UV emission band at ∼395 nm (3.14 eV),
a weak blue band at ∼420 nm (2.95 eV), a blue–green band at ∼485 nm (2.56 eV), and a very weak green band at ∼529 nm (2.35 eV).
The mechanisms responsible for photoluminescence of the samples are discussed. 相似文献

The exploration of novel synthetic methodologies that control both size and shape of functional nanostructure opens new avenues
for the functional application of nanomaterials. Here, we report a new and versatile approach to synthesize SnO2 nanocrystals (rutile-type structure) using microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. Broad peaks in the X-ray diffraction spectra
indicate the nanosized nature of the samples which were indexed as a pure cassiterite tetragonal phase. Chemically and physically
adsorbed water was estimated by TGA data and FT-Raman spectra to account for a new broad peak around 560 cm−1 which is related to defective surface modes. In addition, the spherical-like morphology and low dispersed distribution size
around 3–5 nm were investigated by HR-TEM and FE-SEM microscopies. Room temperature PL emission presents two broad bands at
438 and 764 nm, indicating the existence of different recombination centers. When the size of the nanospheres decreases, the
relative intensity of 513 nm emission increases and the 393 nm one decreases. UV–Visible spectra show substantial changes
in the optical absorbance of crystalline SnO2 nanoparticles while the existence of a small tail points out the presence of localized levels inside the forbidden band gap
and supplies the necessary condition for the PL emission. 相似文献
