Hybrid Ag2OZnO Heterostructures

الملخص EN

The well-aligned Ag2O/ZnO microflowers heterostructure was synthesized by a straightforward two-step procedure.

The diameters of the as-synthesized products were as much as 1.5 μm.

The as-grown Ag2O/ZnO heterostructure was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy analysis.

A possible growth mechanism for flowerlike Ag2O/ZnO heterostructure was proposed based on the experimental results.

Compared with pure ZnO microflowers, PL spectrum of the composite with only one strong peak at 383 nm showed good intrinsic emission.
