Precursor- and Time-Dependent Morphological Evolution of ZnO Nanostructures for Comparative Photocatalytic Activity and Adsorption Dynamics with Methylene Blue Dye.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Diverse ZnO nanostructures were successfully fabricated at 700 °C by direct annealing of 1D Zn(II) coordination polymer precursors, namely, [Zn2(bpma)2(adc)2] n , [Zn2(bpea)2(adc)2] n , and {[Zn2(bpta)2(adc)2]·2H2O} n . The effect of sacrificial ligands present in the precursors as well as a variation in the retention time (6-24 h) during their synthesis resulted in 0D nanospheres, 1D microrods, and 3D polyhedra (with a diamond-like structure) of ZnO. The as-synthesized ZnO nanostructures were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, diffuse reflectance
