Fast Synthesis of ZnO Nanostructures by Laser-Induced Decomposition of Zinc Acetylacetonate
Abstract
A CO2 laser (lambda = 10.6 microm) was used to heat a solution of water and alcohol saturated by Zn(AcAc)2 on a fused quartz substrate in open air. After only a few seconds of irradiation, various zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures including nanorods and nanowires are formed near the center of the irradiated zone, surrounded by a porous thin film of ZnO nanoparticles. The type of structures produced and their localization on the substrate can be varied by selecting adequate irradiation time and laser power ranges. The deposits have been analyzed using SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy, revealing that the nanorods (aspect ratio ~6) and nanowires (aspect ratio ~94) are single-crystalline structures which grow along the c axis of wurtzite ZnO. The nanoparticles are also single-crystalline and have an average diameter of 16 nm. A qualitative model for nanostructure growth is proposed, based on previous studies of aqueous solution and hydrothermal processing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
