摘要
Flower-like ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized by starch-assisted sonochemical method and the effect of starch and ultrasound on the formation of ZnO nanostructure has been investigated. It is observed that starch and ultrasonic wave both plays a vital role on the growth of ZnO nanostructure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicated that the synthesized flower-like ZnO nanostructures were hexagonal. FTIR spectrum confirms the presence of starch on the surface of flower-like ZnO nanostructure. The photoluminescence spectrum of flower-like ZnO nanostructure consists of band-edge emission at 393 nm as well as emission peaks due to defects. On the basis of structural information provided by Xray diffraction (XRD) and morphological information by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), a growth mechanism is proposed for formation of flower-like ZnO nanostructures. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) of starch in liquid medium confirms that gelatinization is a two step process involving two phases. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
