Abstract
Triclinic ZnMoO4 nanowires are synthesized by vapor deposition in air. The morphology, crystal structure, optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) of the obtained ZnMoO4 nanowires are characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, diffuse UV–vis reflectance spectroscopy and PL spectrophotometry, respectively. The synthesized ZnMoO4 nanowires are about 4.3µm in length and 50nm in diameter, exhibiting a high aspect ratio of 86. Under the 325nm laser excitation, ZnMoO4 nanowires exhibit a broad green PL band centered at around 560nm. Our results have demonstrated that vapor deposition in air is an easy and cost-effective method to produce large quantities of single-crystalline ZnMoO4 nanowires. All we need is the precursor of ZnMoO4 and an air-filled box furnace.
