Solvothermal Synthesis of Well-Disperse ZnS Nanorods with Efficient Photocatalytic Properties

Abstract EN

Well-disperse short-range-ordered ZnS nanorods with efficient photocatalytic property for photodegradation of Rhodamin B have been successfully synthesized through a solvothermal method.

Solvent used can be recovered and reused, which makes the route environment-friendly.

Dodecylamine was found effective in organizing nanorods to ordered monolayer.

Characterization showed that these nanorods were uniform with the diameter of about 3 nm and length of nearly 30 nm.

And it is expected that these monodisperse ZnS nanorods have potential applications in electroluminescence materials.
