Fast Formation of Surface Oxidized Zn Nanorods and Urchin-Like Microclusters

الملخص EN

Entangled Zn-ZnO nanorods and urchin-like microstructures were synthesized by the hot filament chemical vapor deposition technique at 825 and 1015°C, respectively.

X-ray diffraction results showed a mixture of ZnO and Zn phases in both nanorods and urchin-like structures.

The presence of Zn confirms the chemical dissociation of the ZnO solid source.

The Z-ZnO nanorods with diameter of about 100 nm showed dispersed-like morphology.

The urchin-like structures with micrometer diameters exhibited porous and rough morphology with epitaxial formation of nanorods.
