摘要
A photo-initiated process via femtosecond pulse-induced heterogeneous nucleation in zinc ammine complex (Zn(NH3)(4)(2+))-based aqueous solution without catalyst and surfactant, followed by hydrothermal treatments for crystal growth into zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods. was investigated. Flat-top hexagonal ZnO nanorods with smooth planes of diameter >= 100 nm and length >= 1 mu m were grown with laser irradiation, compared to porous rod-like structures without.irradiation. The flat-top planes indicate slow growth rate, due to the intermediate step of Zn(NH3)(4)(2+) decomposition to Zn(OH)(4)(2-), before dehydration to ZnO. Prolonged hydrothermal treatment produced nanotubes. and lateral splits due to OH- erosion of the crystal faces. XRD analysis showed a hexagonal crystal structure while photoluminescence study indicated a peak at about 380 nm. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
