摘要纳米氧化锌是一种面向2l世纪的新型高功能精细无机产品,其粒径介于l-100纳米。
又称为超微细氧化锌。
由于颗粒尺寸的细微化,比表面积急剧增加,使得纳米氧化锌产生了其本体块状材料所不具备的表面效应、小尺寸效应和宏观量子隧道效应等。
因而,纳米氧化锌在磁、光、电、化学、物理学、敏感性等方面具有一般氧化锌产品无法比拟的特殊性能和新用途,在橡胶、涂料、油墨、颜填料、催化剂、高档化妆品以及医药等领域展示出广阔的应用前景。
纳米氧化锌由于其巨大的表面能,导致颗粒很容易团聚在一起.要使纳米氧化锌的种种特殊性能得以充分利用,首先必须解决纳米粒子之问的团聚及在溶剂中分散性能差的问题.表面活性剂是一种常用的表面改性剂,目前,国内外采用表面活性剂作为纳米粉体改性剂的研究工作并不少见.本文采用水热合成法制备纳米氧化锌,通过在反应过程中加入复合型表面活性剂(油酸/十二烷基硫酸钠)对其进行表而修饰改性,改善纳米ZnO的水溶性和颗粒团聚的现象,制备出了粒径更小、分散性更好的纳米氧化锌.关键词:纳米氧化锌;粒径;复合型表面活性剂复合型表面活性剂对纳米氧化锌粒径和形貌的影响研究前言纳米技术的发展对世界经济的发展将起到推动作用。
纳米材料的制备与性能研究有着十分重要的意义,而对于纳米材料的表面修饰是纳米材料制备、加工和应用过程中具有决定意义的关键技术。
ZnO作为纳米化的半导体材料不仅具有宽频带、强吸收和“蓝移”现象,还能产生光学非线性响应,具有更优异的光电催化活性,在发光材料、非线性光学材料、光催化材料等方面也应用广泛。
纳米氧化锌的化学法制备包括气相法、液相法和固相法,其中液相法对设备要求不高,成本低,产品纯度高,适于大规模生产。
液相法主要有直接沉淀法和均匀沉淀法,其中在直接沉淀法基础上又发展了用表面活性剂对纳米氧化锌进行表面改性的方法[1]。
目前已有多种不同用途的纳米ZnO的合成方法,但是没有很好解决纳米ZnO由于粒径小、表面能大等因素引起的团聚问题;另一方面ZnO的水溶性差,难以均匀分散在水溶液中,为此需要对无机粉体表面进行修饰,以解决团聚和相容性问题。

同时,氧化锌能够散射光线,使乳胶漆的遮盖力得到一定程度的改善。
总的来说,氧化锌纳米涂层在防护、抗菌、建材、涂料等多个领域都有广泛的应用。

纳米氧化锌与间接法氧化锌的区别
(1) 纯度;间接法氧化锌的纯度最高可以超过99.7%。
若选用高品质的锌锭作原料,重金属的含量也可控制的很低。
但纳米氧化锌的纯度很难做到99%以上,其主要原因是有部分未分解的碱式碳酸锌,以及湿法生产中不可避免产生的硫酸盐,如硫酸钙、硫酸镁、硫酸钠等。
但重金属的含量可以控制到比间接法氧化锌更低(如在5个ppm的范围内甚至更低)。
(2)粒度、比表面积、堆积密度等活性指标不同。
间接法氧化锌的粒度较粗,是纳米氧化锌颗粒直径的几十到几千倍。
(3) 纳米氧化锌粒径小、比表面积大、堆密度小。
它的高活性使得其应用成本低、性能好、使用面宽。
在饲料中,它比间接法氧化锌具有更强的杀菌及收敛作用;它是催化剂中唯一可选的氧化锌;在橡胶行业,与间接法氧化锌相比,纳米氧化锌可以减量使用。
超细粒度使其在化妆品中起到防紫外线及杀菌作用;它还可做为抗菌及抗紫外线的布料处理原料。

fabrication of nano struc-ture of ZnO based UV LEDs,FETs has been stalled because of the challenges/demand to put forth in the growth of highly stable,low resistive and high device performance.Growth of these Nano structure is difficult because of the self-compensating native donor defects,oxygen vacancies (V o )and zinc interstitials (Zn i )in the system.The n-type conductivity can be realized by doping with group III elements,and the band gap of ZnO lies in UV region and it can be used as UV detector.In presence of UV illumination,electrical conductivity increase due to generation of more charge carriers.In this present work,the authors to discuss the formation of pure and indium doped ZnO nanorods by chemical bath deposition.1IntroductionZinc oxide is II–VI group with a wide direct band gap 3.37eV and the most stable crystal structure of ZnO is hexagonal wurzite structure is an excellent for opto-elec-tronic device application.It has a direct band gap in the near ultraviolet (UV)spectral region.Excitonic binding energy of ZnO is 60meV.So the excitonic emission processes can persist at or even above room temperature.Zinc oxide has been widely used in photonic crystals,light emitting diodes,photodetectors,photodiodes,field effect transistors [1–3].,have been used for growth of highly oriented ZnO nanor-ods.Chemical processes facilitate the fabrication of large scale manufacturing at low in temperature and costless technique.A variety of ZnO nanostructures can be obtained simply by changing the precursor chemicals,their concen-trations,growth temperature reaction time and pH of the solution.Due to their larger band gap which make them exploitable for many applications based on UV photode-tection and flat panel display and solar cells [2,4,5].ZnO is exhibit nanostructures with different morphologies [6,7].Optically pumped lasing has been reported in ZnO platelets,thin films,clusters [8,9].The transverse acoustic and optical,longitudinal acoustic and optical studies are dis-cussed through Raman Studies [10–12].The electrical properties of ZnO and its belongs to a group of transparent conducting oxide with strong doping,chemical and thermal stability,and the decay current of UV [13].2Materials synthesis proceduresAll Analar grade chemicals are purchased from S.D.fine chemical,India.Chemical bath deposition is

process involves preparation of a sol from zinc acetate and sodium hydroxide where zinc acetate is measured 0.01M molarity based in ethanol and heated at a temperature of 70°C in ethanol,with sodium hydroxide of 0.02M in ethanol being added drop by drop to the solution for 30min by the usual procedure [5].The ZnO nanorods are prepared through the initial solution is prepared by dis-solving zinc acetate of 2.195g in 250ml deionised water.Indium trichloride is measured 0.027g and dissolved in 20ml deionised water.The solution is then added to zinc acetate solution and then placed on hot plate at 80°C.The seeded glass substrates fitted into Teflon grooves and aresuspended in the solution after adding ethylenediamine.This setup is maintained at 80°C for 1h.After deposition samples are rinsed with deionised water and dried for some time.This is a brief overview of chemical bath deposition through which aligned zinc oxide nanostructures can be grown at lower temperatures compared to other methods [13].3Experimental techniquesAn X-Ray diffraction is one of the most widely used tech-niques to analyse various kinds of matter to determine the structure,phase purity,crystallite size,strain andmanyFig.1XRD spectra of a pure and b IndiuumdopedFig.2Raman spectra of a pure and b indium doped ZnOmore.Diffraction effects are observed when electromagnetic radiation impinges on periodic structures with geometries on the length scale of the wavelength of the radiation.The qualitative and quantitative analyses are made through phase transformation,lattice parameter,composition and phase fraction through XRD pattern[14].This shift in wavelength depends on the chemical structure of the molecules present in the material investigated.Raman Spectroscopy is one of the most versatile spectroscopic techniques used to observe vibrational modes in the system.It works on the principles of inelastic scattering phenomenon when laser light interacts with molecular vibrations,phonons and other excitations in the system.The process of work is that when a small fraction of light is scattered by molecules,wavelength of the small fraction of scattered light differs from that off the incident beam.Raman spectroscopy is range from measuring the shift in phonon frequencies,measuring the local environment and stress to study phase transitions in crystals through Raman studies.A scanning electron microscope(SEM)is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons.The electrons interact with electrons in the sample,producing various signals that can be detected and that contain information about the sample’s surface topography and composition.SEM can achieve resolution of few nanometres.Specimens can be characterised in high vac-uum,low vacuum and in environmental condition.A cur-rent–voltage characteristic or I–V curve(current–voltage curve)is a relationship,typically represented as a chart or graph,between the electric current through a circuit, device,or material,and the corresponding voltage or potential difference across it.In our case we use Keith-ley2601sourcemeter and Labview software to develop a program and run the system atfixed bias voltage.I–V characteristics can be used to determine the electrical conductivity,photoresponse etc.4Results and discussionFrom the Fig.1a,b below shows the X-Ray diffraction of zinc oxide nanorods coated on glass substrates.The pro-nounce peaks at the(002)plane indicate higher levelof Fig.3SEM images of a pure and b indium doped ZnOcrystalline growth along the c-axis,vertical to the glass substrate.The other peaks at (100)and (101)are also present.The same can also be confirmed by the JCPDS reference number 36-1451.Due to better nucleation pro-cess,this confirming the seed layer gives better orientation compared with out the seed layer.XRD of In doped ZnOVoltage (V)Voltage (V)C u r r e n t (A )(b)Current and Voltage

suggest the high crystallinity of the nanostructures and c-axis oriented growth.The vibrational modes of the In doped and undoped ZnO are presented in Figs.2a,b.From the samefigures,the small peaks at330cm-1which is A1and a sharp peak at 438cm-1attributed to E2high frequency mode corre-sponding to oxygen motion.Other mode observed at 560cm-1is attributed to surface phonon mode.After comparing the observed results in intensity of the peaks which is due to reduction in lattice symmetry by the added dopent.The prepared samples subjected to Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FE-SEM,Quanta3D) analysis and the images obtained are shown in Figs.3a,b. The Images indicate the hexagonal structure and arrays of zinc oxide nanorods distributed evenly and oriented across the c-axis.The average diameter of the nanorods varied from30to40nm and further it clearly show that the sample prepared by the above route has pure ZnO phase [19].The Presence of a small additional layer is visible in doped structure images which can be attributed to the existence of dopant.From the Fig.4a,b,the electrical and conducting properties of synthesised samples are studied through(I–V) plot,and the experiments are performed with in and absence of UV illumination,2orders of increment is observed in both doped and undoped ZnO nanorods in the presence of UV.The basic mechanism in UV involves oxygen molecules adsorbed on the surface capture free electrons in the dark state leading to the formation of depletion layer and it leads to bending of the bands and hence the total carrier concentration is affected and the conductivity is decreased[7].When the nanorods are subjected to UV illumination with energies more than the band gap of ZnO,the photo generated holes migrate to the negatively charged oxygen molecules and neutralize them and these oxygen molecules desorbs from the surface.The unpaired photo generated electrons are responsible for the increase in photo current. However after saturation,oxygen molecules start re-ad-sorbing and photo current increases as long as an equilib-rium is reached between desorption and re-adsorbing oxygen molecules.Once the UV illumination is turned off,the electrons and holes recombine with each other with some electrons still captured by the re-adsorbed oxygen molecules[6].And as a result the conductivity decreases. Owing to the surface and volume ratio of the nanorods as can be seen in morphology,oxygen molecules are easily re-adsorbed and may trap some electrons and this decreases the current(Fig.5).From the Table1,the growth and decay time constants are calculated fromfittings of the plots with exponential function.Photoconductive gain was calculated to be82and 117for pure and doped zinc oxide.The time constants of growth current s1when UV on are29.28and75.11s for pure and doped nanostructures[8].The time constant of decay current,s2when UV is on is calculated to be475.29 and2323.7s for ZnO and In doped ZnO respectively.The presence of two time constants when UV is off is attributed to two different carrier relaxation mechanisms one being surface adsorbed oxygen and the other being defect level mechanism.The defect level is due to the presence of V Zn and Zn i defects which attract water molecules and as a result become recombination centres due to the formation of Zn2?states.Thefirst time constant,s3is calculated to be 35.91and378.51s.Similar results are reported by Anderson Janotti[15]and the second time constants s4are 165.38s and99.15s for doped and undoped structures respectively.This difference in time constants for indium doped zinc oxide is still under investigation[15–18].5ConclusionsThe deposition of ZnO undoped and Indium doped nanor-ods are carried out by chemical bath deposition techniques. An X-rays diffraction study reveals ZnO is the compound is crystalline and it’s grown along c-axis.The band gap of ZnO is estimated as 3.7eV.The vibrational modes of samples are analysed with Raman spectra,the oxygen motion causes the reduction in lattice symmetry.The detailed analysis of SEM suggested that the hexagonal structure and the average size are*35nm.The IV studies reveal the conductivity increases with re-absorption phe-nomena confirmed.The relaxation mechanism studied with growth and decay time,time constant and further reveals the semiconducting properties of the characteristics samples.
