Abstract

Co-deposition of two types of high aspect ratio nanostructured ZnO involving nanowires and nanotetrapods with a uniform structure were carried out through thermal evaporation and vapor transportation of a mixture of highly pure ZnO and graphite powders in 1:1 weight ratio. The mixture was heated at 1100 oC under various flow rates of N2 and air mixture. The surface morphology and structural characteristics of synthesized ZnO nanostructured materials revealed a highly crystalline structure with an average diameter of about 30 nm and length of several micrometers. The mechanism of co-deposition of ZnO nanowires and nanotetrapods during vapor transport at atmospheric pressure was proposed.
