Shape and Size Effects of ZnO Nanocrystals on Photocatalytic Activity
Abstract
A wet-chemical method was employed to prepare zinc oxide nanocrystals having controlled morphology through thermal decomposition of a zinc precursor in self-assembled supramolecular structures in solvent under mild conditions. This solution method offers finer tailoring of the size and shape of the nanocrystals and is complementary to most reported physical methods. Understanding the morphological effects of pure or modified zinc oxide nanocrystals on photocatalytic activity is important in regard to enhanced solar energy capture and utilization but has been scarcely addressed in the past. The photocatalytic rate was found to have no dependence on ZnO particle size, but the shape factor seems to be of overriding importance. Hexagonal platelike nanocrystals were found to display at least 5 times higher activity than rod-shaped crystals, which clearly suggests that the polar (001) and (001) faces are more active surfaces than the nonpolar surfaces perpendicular to them.

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.
