摘要
Nano sized ZnO powders, with suitable amount of TiO(2) (P25), have been successfully synthesized via a novel modified hydrothermal method by using zinc acetate. Titania nano powder plays an important role in fabrication of ZnO nano structure. The structure and morphology of the product were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, which show different morphologies and particle sizes. Photocatalytical properties of the product exhibit strong improvement in the reactivity of seeded powders. These powders have better properties because of coupling effect of semiconductors, small powder size and reduced recombination of electron-hole in the surface of a catalyst. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
