Ionic liquid-assisted synthesis of silver nanorods by polyol reduction

<正>Silver nanorods have been successfully synthesized in large scale by the ethylene glycol(EG) reduction in the presence of ionic liquid(IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate(bmimBF_4) and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone(PVP).The silver nanorods were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),electron energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS) and UV-vis spectroscopy.The results showed that the uniform silver nanorods have an average diameter of about 100 nm and the aspect ratio from 15 to 20.IL,bmimBF_4 may play a role of capping agent together with PVP in the formation of silver nanorods.On the other band,bmimBF_4 may accelerate nucleation and improve the stability of the resulting Ag nanorods due to the low interface tension of IL.     

Straight and thin ZnO nanorods: hectogram-scale synthesis at low temperature and cathodoluminescence

A novel seed-assisted chemical reaction at 95 degrees C has been employed to synthesize uniform, straight, thin, and single-crystalline ZnO nanorods on a hectogram scale. The molar ratio of ZnO seed and zinc source plays a critical role in the preparation of thin ZnO nanorods. At a low molar ratio of ZnO seed and zinc source, javelin-like ZnO nanorods consisting of thin ZnO nanorods with a diameter of 100 nm and thick ZnO nanorods with a diameter of 200 nm have been obtained. In contrast, straight ZnO nanorods with a diameter of about 20 nm have been prepared. Dispersants such as poly(vinyl alcohol) act spatial obstructors to control the length of ZnO nanorods. The morphology, structure, and optical property of the ZnO nanostructures prepared under different conditions have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and cathodoluminescence. The formation mechanisms for the synthesized nanostructures with different morphologies have been phenomenologically presented.

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.

铟掺杂调控氧化锌纳米棒长径比

利用水热法合成了铟掺杂的氧化锌(In-ZnO)纳米棒. X射线衍射(XRD)结果表明铟掺杂能导致氧化锌晶格膨胀. 扫描电镜(SEM)结果显示, 随着前驱液中铟浓度的增加, 氧化锌纳米棒的长径比先减小后增大, 在铟原子浓度为1.0% (原子分数, x), 长径比达到最小值; 随着前驱液中铟浓度继续增加, 长径比增大. 从晶体生长角度考虑, 溶液中存在四羟基铟(In(OH)₄^-)生长基元, 该生长基元可转化为铟替位掺杂(In_Zn)和羟基铟氧化物(InOOH)两种状态, 二者之间存在竞争关系, 共同引起长径比的非线性变化. 当铟原子分数小于1.0%时, In_Zn是主要存在形式, 其能破坏锌极性面, 从而抑制(002)晶面的生长. 当铟原子浓度高于1.0%时, 生成微量的InOOH, 其能起到晶粒粘结剂的作用, 促进(002)面的生长. 因此, 可以通过改变前驱液中铟的浓度, 调控氧化锌纳米棒的长径比. 本文阐述了In-ZnO的生长机理, 并提供一种制备实用的掺杂氧化锌纳米棒的方法.     

A facile approach to hexagonal ZnO nanorod assembly

Nanocrystalline ZnO nanorods were successfully grown by ultrasonication using an acidic ethanolic zinc acetate precursor solution followed by a flow coating process and annealing at 600 °C. The ZnO nanorods obtained were hexagonal in shape and showed a high degree of uniformity in size and distribution. These samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectrophotometry and the results are discussed. This approach appears to be the easiest way to fabricate bulk ZnO nanorods.     

Aspect-ratio-dependent photoinduced antimicrobial and photocatalytic organic pollutant degradation efficiency of ZnO nanorods

The photo-antimicrobial and photocatalytic performance of ZnO nanorods as a function of aspect ratio are presented. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized ZnO nanorod samples against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively) was determined by shake flask method with respect to time. ZnO nanorods with high aspect ratio showed superior antimicrobial and photocatalytic activity. These results are supported by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) studies. Degradation of methylene blue dye as model organic pollutant was used to assess their photocatalytic activity. Pseudo-first-order rate kinetics was used to calculate the photocatalytic reaction rate constant. The mechanisms for both antimicrobial and photocatalytic activity are elucidated.

Hydrothermal synthesis of 2D ordered macroporous ZnO films

The ZnO films with two-dimensional ordered macroporous structure were successfully fabricated through hydrothermal crystal growth of ZnO on the ZnO substrate covered with a monolayer of polystyrene (PS) spheres as template. The precursor solution of hydrothermal crystal growth of ZnO were prepared by equimolar solution of Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and hexamethylenetramine (HMT). The confinement effect of the PS spheres template on the growth of ZnO nanorods and the influence of sodium citrate on the crystal growth of ZnO had been studied. The film surface morphology and the preferential growth of ZnO crystal were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Also, the photoluminescence spectrum of ZnO films had been measured, and the corresponding mechanism was discussed. __________ Translated from Chemistry, 2007, 70 (8): 587–592 [译自: 化学通报]     

Preparation of Superhydrophobic ZnO Films on Zinc Substrate by Chemical Solution Method

Superhydrophobic surface was prepared on the zinc substrate by chemical solution method via immersing clean pure zinc substrate into a water solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate[Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O] and hexamethylenetetraamine( C₆H₁₂N₄) at 95 ℃ in water bath for 1.5 h, then modified with 18 alkanethiol. The best resulting surface shows superhydrophobic properties with a water contact angle of about 158° and a low water roll-off angle of around 3°. The prepared samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). SEM images of the films show that the resulting surface exhibits flower-shaped micro- and nano-structure. The surfaces of the prepared films were composed of ZnO nanorods which were wurtzite structure. The special flower-like micro- and nano-structure along with the low surface energy leads to the surface superhydrophobicity.     

Surface properties,adherence, and photocatalytic activity of sol–gel dip-coated TiO2–ZnO films on glass plates

In this study, TiO₂–ZnO nanostructured films prepared from different Ti/water mole ratios were deposited on glass plates by a sol–gel dip-coating method. The structural and surface properties, adherence, and photoactivity of synthesized TiO₂–ZnO coatings in methylene blue degradation were investigated. Among the as-prepared TiO₂–ZnO coatings from sols with different Ti/water mole ratios (1, 0.66, 0.5, and 0.4), the highest sol concentration (Ti/water mole ratio of 1) showed the highest methylene blue photodegradation of almost 80% after 400 min of UV irradiation. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) confirmed that at high sol concentrations (Ti/water mole ratios of 1 and 0.66), a mixed phase of anatase and rutile is formed, whereas at a Ti/water mole ratio of 0.5, just pure rutile is formed. In detail, decreasing the sol concentration increases the cracks, degree of agglomeration, and the thickness of coatings. UV-vis DRS studies also confirm that decreasing the sol concentration in synthesized TiO₂–ZnO films leads to a shift in the absorption region of the coating to the UV region. Moreover, decreasing the sol concentration declines the coating adherence onto glass plates. TEM images of the TiO₂–ZnO coating synthesized from sol with a Ti/water mole ratio of 1 revealed the formation of ZnO nanorods around a spherical TiO₂, which indicates the presence of strong interaction between TiO₂ and ZnO nanoparticles. The TiO₂–ZnO coating synthesized from sol with a Ti/water mole ratio of 1 was then evaluated at different methylene blue concentrations, pH values, and number of coatings. After five consecutive runs, no significant decrease in the photodegradation efficiency was observed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) picture of used coating showed a smooth and stable layer without any detachment. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and sonication test confirmed thermal and mechanical stabilities of this coating as well.     

Influence of different substrates on ZnO nanorod arrays properties

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays were grown on different substrates by hydrothermal method. The crystallinity of ZnO nanorod was regularly investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to examine morphology of the ZnO nanorods. The results indicate that the nanorods grow along [002] orientation. SEM and TEM images and XRD patterns show that the growth of ZnO nanorods on graphene/Quartz substrate is better than the other substrates due to the number and size of the nanorods which are highly affected through the properties of ZnO seed layers and it has lower defects than the other substrates. PL spectra ZnO would have a higher concentration of oxygen vacancy.     

The influence of β-FeOOH nanorods on the thermal stability of poly(methyl methacrylate)

Colloidal dispersions consisting of β-FeOOH nanorods with three different aspect ratios (4, 75 and 120) were synthesized using thermal hydrolysis of FeCl₃ solutions. After surface modification with oleic acid, the β-FeOOH nanorods were incorporated in poly(methyl methacrylate). Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were applied for structural characterization of the β-FeOOH nanorods. The influence of inorganic phase on the thermal properties of PMMA matrix was studied using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. Improvement of the thermal stability and increase of the glass transition temperature were found with the increase of content of inorganic phase and the increase of aspect ratio.     

Electrochemical deposition of nano-structured ZnO on the nanocrystalline TiO2 film and its characterization

One-dimensional structure of ZnO nanorod arrays on nanocrystalline TiO₂/ITO conductive glass substrates has been fabricated by cathodic reduction electrochemical deposition methods in the three-electrode system, with zinc nitrate aqueous solution as the electrolyte, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The effects of film substrates, electrolyte concentration, deposition time, and methenamine (HMT) addition on ZnO deposition and its luminescent property were investigated in detail. The results show that, compared with on the ITO glass substrate, ZnO is much easily achieved by electrochemical deposition on the TiO₂ nanoparticle thin films. ZnO is hexagonally structured wurtzite with the c-axis preferred growth, and further forms nanorod arrays vertically on the substrates. It is favorable to the growth of ZnO to extend the deposition time, to increase the electrolyte concentration, and to add a certain amount of HMT in the system, consequently improving the crystallinity and orientation of ZnO arrays. It is demonstrated that the obtained ZnO arrays with high crystallinity and good orientation display strong band-edge UV (375 nm) and weak surface-state-related green (520 nm) emission peaks.     

双相分散聚乙烯吡咯烷酮包覆氧化锌纳米粒子的微乳液法制备,结构和光学性质

Influences of Co doping on the structural,optical and magnetic properties of ZnO nanorods synthesized by hydrothermal route

Pure and Co-doped ZnO nanorods have been synthesized by a hydrothermal process. The structure, morphology and properties of as-prepared samples have been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer as well as by superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The structure and morphology analyses show that Co doping can slightly impede the ZnO crystallinity, influence the nanorods morphology, but cannot change the preferred growth orientation of ZnO nanorods. The amount of Co doping contents is about 3.0 at% in ZnO nanorods and dopant Co²⁺ ions substitute Zn²⁺ ions sites in ZnO nanocrystal without forming any secondary phase. The optical measurements show that the Co doping can effectively tune energy band structure and enrich surface states in both UV and VL regions, which lead to novel PL properties of ZnO nanorods. In addition, ferromagnetic ordering of the as-synthesized Zn_1?xCo_xO nanorod arrays has been observed at room temperature, which should be ascribed to sp–d and d–d carrier exchange interactions and presence of abundant defects and oxygen vacancies.
