研究目的
To study the effects of zinc ions source precursors (zinc acetate and zinc sulfate) and caustic bases (sodium and potassium hydroxides) on the structural and morphological characteristics of ZnO nanostructures synthesized by hydrothermal route.
研究成果
ZnO nanostructures synthesized with zinc acetate and NaOH exhibit the best crystalline quality and nanopencil morphology, while zinc sulfate with KOH leads to agglomerated structures. The method is simple, cost-effective, and produces high-purity ZnO suitable for applications like photocatalysis.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific precursors and bases, and the hydrothermal method may have constraints in controlling morphology precisely. Potential optimizations could include varying synthesis parameters like temperature, time, or concentration for broader applicability.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a hydrothermal synthesis method to prepare ZnO nanostructures by precipitating aqueous solutions of zinc precursors (zinc acetate or zinc sulfate) with caustic bases (NaOH or KOH) at ambient temperature, followed by heat treatment at 600°C for 2 hours.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples are prepared using specific precursors and bases, with molarities of
3：2 M for zinc solutions and 3 M for base solutions. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a PanAnalytical X-ray diffractometer, Shimadzu IRaffinity-1 FTIR spectrometer, Quanta 600W SEM with EDAX microanalyzer, and Horiba JobinYvon HR 800UV μ-Raman spectrometer. Materials include zinc acetate (99%, Aldrich), zinc sulfate (Aldrich), sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and distilled water.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Solutions are mixed and stirred until precipitate forms, then heat-treated. Characterization involves XRD, SEM, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy at ambient temperature.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
XRD data are analyzed using Scherrer formula for crystallite size, lattice parameters are calculated, and vibrational modes are identified from Raman and FTIR spectra.
