Novel Zinc Oxide Nanostructures Discovery by Electron Microscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
Zinc oxide is an important semiconducting and piezoelectric material. Structurally, due to the three types of fast growth direction: <0001>, <011 0> and <21 1 0> as well as the ±(0001) polar surfaces, a diversity group of ZnO nanostructures have been grown in our laboratory: including nanocombs, nanosaws, nanosprings, nanorings, nanobows and nanopropellers. This article reviews our recent progress in the synthesis and characterization of the polar surface induced ZnO nanostructures and their growth mechanisms.

متن کاملChemical Vapor Deposition Synthesis of Novel Indium Oxide Nanostructures in Strongly Reducing Growth Ambient
The current study reports some interesting growth of novel In2O3 nanostructures using ambient-controlled chemical vapor deposition technique in the presence of a strongly reducing hydrazine ambient. The experiments are systematically carried out by keeping either of the carrier gas flow rate or the source temperature constant, and varying the other. For each of the depositions, the growth is st...
متن کاملOxygen vacancy induced band gap narrowing of ZnO nanostructures by an electrochemically active biofilm.
Band gap narrowing is important and advantageous for potential visible light photocatalytic applications involving metal oxide nanostructures. This paper reports a simple biogenic approach for the promotion of oxygen vacancies in pure zinc oxide (p-ZnO) nanostructures using an electrochemically active biofilm (EAB), which is different from traditional techniques for narrowing the band gap of na...
