ZnO Nanocrystals by a Non-hydrolytic Route: Synthesis and Characterization

Cozzoli, P. Davide, Curri, M. Lucia, Agostiano, Angela, Leo, Gabriella, Lomascolo, Mauro·2003·The Journal of Physical Chemistry B

Abstract

We report a novel, non-hydrolytic route to ZnO nanocrystals by means of thermal decomposition of zinc acetate (ZnAc 2 ) in alkylamines, in the presence of tert -butylphosphonic acid (TBPA). The slow heating of an alkylamine/TBPA/ZnAc 2 mixture is a simple, safe, and scalable approach to synthesize ZnO nanocrystals from handy chemicals. The obtained ZnO nanocrystals were characterized by UV−vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL) and infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies, and by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The growth of ZnO particles in the nanoscopic regime and their final size were governed by the TBPA/ZnAc 2 molar ratio in the reaction mixtures. The various roles played by TBPA in the conditions of the synthesis are discussed on the basis of the experimental evidence. The presented synthetic approach provides a unique tool for designing the synthesis of ZnO crystals of a desired size in the nanoscale regime and can be potentially extended to other nanoscale materials.

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.
