Evolution of ZnO nanowires, nanorods, and nanosheets with an oxygen-assisted carbothermal reduction process
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
A systematic hierarchical evolution of nanowires, nanorods, and nanosheets in ZnO, based on a oxygen-assisted carbothermal reduction process, was presented. Nanowires, nanorods, and nanosheets were synthesized in series with controlling oxygen partial pressure from 10-6 to 10-1. It was impossible to get ZnO nanowires with using Ar gas only and more than 1ppm of oxygen could successfully introduce the ZnO nanowires on the Si substrates at the downstream of the tube. The additional oxygen gas with Ar carrier gas could introduce not only the nanowires but also the combs and sheets. The details of nanocombs and nanosheets also were presented.
