摘要
Highly crystalline ZnO hierarchical nanostructures were prepared at room temperature through the alkaline hydrolysis of zinc salt by the forced mixing of two immiscible solutions: Zn-nitrate aqueous solution and oleic-acid-dissolved n-hexane solution, The oleic acid acted as a surfactant in the room-temperature formation of well-defined ZnO hierarchical nanostructures, which subsequently demonstrated a sensitive and selective detection of C2H5OH. The responses of these hierarchical nanostructures to 10-100 ppm C2H5OH ranged from 15.7 to 177.7, which were 7-9 times higher than those of the agglomerated nanoparticles. (C) 2011 Elsevier BM.
