研究目的
To study the photoconductivity of nano-sized zinc oxide (ZnO) flowers and bicones under UV-vis illumination, prepared by a co-precipitation method using ZnO-seed for flowers and polyethylene glycol (PEG) for bicones.
研究成果
The study successfully synthesized ZnO flowers and bicones using a co-precipitation method, with ZnO seeds and PEG as mediating agents. The ZnO bicones exhibited higher photosensitivity compared to flower-like structures, especially in a vacuum, due to their higher surface-to-volume ratio and the presence of surface hydrocarbons. This makes ZnO bicones a promising candidate for photodetection applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to the synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanostructures under specific conditions (e.g., using TEA and PEG as mediating agents). The photoconductivity measurements were conducted under fixed conditions of bias voltage and photo-flux, which may not represent all possible operational conditions.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures using a co-precipitation method with ZnO-seed for flowers and PEG for bicones. The structural, optical, and photoconductivity properties were characterized using XRD, FESEM, UV-visible spectrophotometry, FTIR, and PL spectroscopy.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ZnO samples were synthesized using zinc nitrate hexahydrate as a precursor, with triethylamine (TEA) and PEG as mediating agents for flower and bicone structures, respectively.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included X-ray diffractometer (Model: PW3040 / 60 X’pert PRO), FESEM (450 (FEI)), UV-visible spectrophotometer (JASCO V650), FTIR spectrometer (Bruker Optic Gmbh, Germany), and PL spectrometer (VARIAN Cary Eclipse). Materials included zinc nitrate hexahydrate, TEA, PEG, and ZnO seeds.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved heating and stirring solutions of TEA and zinc nitrate hexahydrate, with the addition of ZnO seeds or PEG, followed by centrifugation, washing, drying, and annealing.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
XRD data were analyzed using the Debye-Scherer equation to determine crystallite size. Photoconductivity data were analyzed to determine photosensitivity and trap depth.
