Abstract

The coordinated ZnO nanoparticles and crystallites have been produced by focused pulsed laser ablation of ZnO target submerged in the ethanol solution of 8-hydroxyquinoline. The structure of the nanoparticles was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The ZnO crystallites properties were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis coupled to differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and luminescence spectrometry. The results show the surface Zn2+ ions of the ZnO nanoparticles are coordinated by the 8-hydroxyquinoline. The crystal class and the space group of the coordinated ZnO crystallites are triclinic and P-1(2), respectively. The lattice parameters are refined to a=1.1904 nm, b=1.2135 nm, c=0.8586 nm, α=108.28∘,β=100.27∘ and γ=85.50∘, respectively. The coordinated ZnO crystallites have better thermo stability than bis(8-hydroxyquinoline)zinc and can emit yellow-green light under UV and visible radiations.
