Investigating the synthesis and characterization of ZnO and Au@ZnO core/shell nanoparticles via pulsed laser ablation in different liquid media and their application in catalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol.
研究成果
The study successfully synthesized ZnO and Au@ZnO core/shell nanoparticles with enhanced catalytic activity for the degradation of 4-nitrophenol. The Au@ZnO core/shell structure demonstrated superior catalytic performance compared to ZnO nanoparticles, suggesting its potential for environmental remediation applications. Future research could explore the synthesis of other hybrid nanostructures and their catalytic efficiencies.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific conditions of laser ablation (e.g., laser parameters, liquid media) which may affect the reproducibility and scalability of nanoparticle synthesis. Further optimization is needed to enhance the catalytic efficiency and explore other potential applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized pulsed laser ablation in liquid media (PLAL) with a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser to synthesize ZnO and Au@ZnO core/shell nanoparticles. The method selection was based on the ability to control the size, shape, and structure of nanoparticles by varying laser parameters and the surrounding medium.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Pure granulated zinc metal was ablated in ultrapure water and chloroauric acid to produce ZnO and Au@ZnO nanoparticles, respectively. The structural, morphological, and optical properties were characterized using XRD, UV–vis spectroscopy, and TEM.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Nd-YAG laser (λ = 1064 nm), X-ray diffractometer (Schimadzu 7000), UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer (JASCO 570), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM, JEOL—JEM-1011).

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The laser ablation process was carried out for 10 min with the laser beam focused on the target surface. The solution was stirred to enhance nanoparticle growth. Post-ablation, the nanoparticles were characterized for their properties.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The crystalline size was calculated using the Debye-Scherrer equation. Optical properties were analyzed using Tauc plots to determine the energy bandgap. Catalytic activity was assessed by monitoring the degradation of 4-nitrophenol.
