ZnO/SiO2的激光诱导发光光谱研究

用激光诱导发光光谱技术对一系列不同ZnO担载量的ZnO/SiO2及在不同焙烧气氛下制备的ZnO/SiO2材料进行了深入的研究,发现在空气气氛中焙烧的ZnO/SiO2主要出现ZnO的橙色发光带(中心位于670nm),但在氩气气氛中焙烧制得的样品主要呈现ZnO的绿色发光带(中心位于540nm),且明显观察到橙色发光带和绿色发光带之间的转化.ZnO的可见光区发光带可能是由ZnO中的氧缺陷引起的,高浓度的氧缺陷引发绿色发光带,而低浓度的氧缺陷引发橙色发光带.结果表明,激光诱导发光光谱是一种表征缺陷的有力工具,常规表征技术很难对材料的缺陷状态进行表征.XRD衍射图谱表明,样品中ZnO是以纤锌矿结构存在的,紫外-可见漫反射光谱和拉曼光谱显示,ZnO主要以大颗粒状态覆盖在SiO2表面上.

Growth mechanism and optical properties of aligned hexagonal ZnO nanoprisms synthesized by noncatalytic thermal evaporation

Vertically aligned perfectly hexagonal-shaped ZnO nanoprisms have been grown on a Si(100) substrate via a noncatalytic thermal evaporation process by using metallic zinc powder in the presence of oxygen gas. The as-grown nanoprisms consist of ultra smooth Zn-terminated (0001) facets bounded with the {0110} surfaces. The as-synthesized products are single-crystalline with the wurtzite hexagonal phase and grown along the [0001] direction, as confirmed from the detailed structural investigations. The presence of a sharp and strong nonpolar optical phonon high-E2 mode at 437 cm(-1) in the Raman scattering spectrum further confirms good crystallinity and wurtzite hexagonal phase for the as-grown products. The as-grown nanoprisms exhibit a strong near-band-edge emission with a very weak deep-level emission in the room-temperature and low-temperature photoluminescence measurements, confirming good optical properties for the deposited products. Moreover, systematic time-dependent experiments were also performed to determine the growth process of the grown vertically aligned nanoprisms.

Synthesis and Photoluminescence of Eu-doped ZnO Nanosheets

Eu-doped ZnO nanosheets were synthesized successfully by means of the hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction(XRD) pattern shows that the sample is a single phase with the ZnO-like wurtzite structure. And the X-ray photoelectron spectrum suggests that there are Eu3+ ions in the matrix of the sample. Eu3+-related red emissions resulted from energy transfer were observed for the nanosheets under UV laser excitation. The UV, green and yellow emissions were also seen in the photoluminescence spectra.     

Effect of annealing on photoluminescence of blue-emitting ZnO nanoparticles by sol–gel method

In this work, we investigated the influence of annealing on the crystallinity, microstructures, and photoluminescence (PL) properties of ZnO nanoparticles prepared by sol–gel method. The annealing was carried out both in air and vacuum. X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy were used to characterize the crystal structures, diameter, surface morphology, and PL properties of ZnO nanoparticles. It has been found that both the as-grown and annealed ZnO nanoparticles had a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure, and their average diameter and crystallinity increased with the anneal time and temperature. Pure blue-emitting behavior was observed in all samples. The emission intensity of ZnO nanoparticles was found to be enhanced after annealing, but it was highly dependent on the annealing conditions. Optimal annealing conditions both in air and vacuum were obtained for achieving maximum emission intensity in the ZnO nanoparticles. The dependence of PL properties of the ZnO nanoparticles on the annealing conditions was discussed.     

Electrochemical/chemical synthesis of highly-oriented single-crystal ZnO nanotube arrays on transparent conductive substrates

Arrays of ZnO nanotube (ZNT) were prepared by a two-step electrochemical/chemical process on a transparent, conductive substrate from an aqueous solution at 85 °C. The as-grown ZNTs are single crystals with wurtzite structure and have good crystalline state. The tubular morphology was formed by the proton generated from anodic splitting of water and defect-selective etching of the electrodeposited ZnO nanorod (ZNR) along the c-axis. The photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence spectra of the ZNT arrays show two emission bands located in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible region, respectively. It was found that the PL intensity in the UV band as well as the ratio of I_uv/I_visible increased with increasing of the excitation intensity.     

The synthesis and optical properties of different zinc oxide nanostructures

The tetrapod-like whiskers (T-ZnO), nanoaeroplanes, nanocombs, nanobelts, bead-like nanoforms and many other forms of hexagonal zinc oxide were synthesized by the chemical deposition process (CVD). From the experimental results it can be seen that the composition of source gases and the speed of oxidation are essential to the growth of each of these morphologies of zinc oxide. By controlling the growth conditions, one novel morphology of ZnO (bead-like nanoform) has been obtained. The ZnO tetrapod-like whiskers were grown without catalysts on the walls of quartz tube. The structure and morphology of the T-ZnO was characterized. All four legs of as-grown ZnO nanotetrapods are needle-like and hexagonal shaped and grow in the ±[0001] direction. The effect of synthesis conditions on the morphology and size T-ZnO was observed. Possible mechanisms of growth were investigated. The lengths of the legs of the tetrapods range from 1 to 15 μm and diameter varying from 0.03 to 1 μm during the synthesis. In the photoluminescence spectra T-ZnO clearly shows two maxima at UV and visible regions. The oxygen impurity, particularly, oxygen flow rates mainly influences on increasing (decreasing) at PL peaks. The maximum near of 590–610 nm (～2 eV), confirming the influence of native defects (oxygen vacancies and interstitials) on the PL intensity and optical quenching exciton peak.

Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Nanowires

Zinc oxide is a wide bandgap (3.37 eV) semiconductor with a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. ZnO prepared in nanowire form may be used as a nanosized ultraviolet light-emitting source. In this study, ZnO nanowires were prepared by vapor-phase transport of Zn vapor onto gold-coated silicon substrates in a tube furnace heated to 900 ?C. Gold serves as a catalyst to capture Zn vapor during nanowire growth. Size control of ZnO nanowires has been achieved by varying the gold film thickness…     

Spectroscopic characterization of zinc oxide nanorods synthesized by solid-state reaction

Well-crystallized zinc oxide nanorods have been fabricated by single step solid-state reaction using zinc acetate and sodium hydroxide, at room temperature. The sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) stabilized zinc oxide nanorods were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction revealed the wurtzite structure of zinc oxide. The size estimation by XRD and TEM confirmed that the ZnO nanorods are made of single crystals. The growth of zinc oxide crystals into rod shape was found to be closely related to its hexagonal nature. The mass ratio of SLS:ZnO in the nanorods was found to be 1:10 based on the thermogravimetric analysis. Blue shift of photoluminescence emission was noticed in the ZnO nanorods when compared to that of ZnO bulk. FT-IR analysis confirmed the binding of SLS with ZnO nanorods. Apart from ease of preparation, this method has the advantage of eco-friendliness since the solvent and other harmful chemicals were eliminated in the synthesis protocol.
