摘要：

A facile aqueous solution process was used to synthesize well-crystalline ZnO nanocones at 60 degrees C by using zinc nitrate hexahydrate and sodium hydroxide. The morphological, structural and optical properties of the synthesized ZnO nanocones were investigated by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) attached with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with high-resolution (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and UV-Vis. spectroscopy measurements. The structural and optical properties of the as-synthesized nanocones confirmed a pure and well crystalline product possessing wurtzite hexagonal phase. The as-synthesized ZnO nanocones were used as photocatalyst for the efficient photocatalytic degradation of acridine orange. The acridine orange was almost completely degraded within 105 minutes. This research demonstrates that the simply synthesized ZnO nanostructures could be efficient photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of various organic dyes and chemicals.
