Films of Tunable ZnO Nanostructures Prepared by a Surfactant-Mediated Soft Synthesis Route

Résumé

Films of ZnO nanostructures were prepared by a soft chemical synthesis route from ZnO crystal seeds in aqueous medium, in the presence of alkylsulfates of different chain length acting as structure-directing agents. Films of arrayed single crystal ZnO nanorods were formed with short alkyl sulfates, from C6 to C8 alkylene chains, while hybrid lamellar ZnO with a platelike morphology were obtained with C10 to C18 alkyl sulfates. In the case of the short alkyl sulfates, due to the interaction between the sulfate groups and the Zn(2+) planes of the ZnO structure, the growth along the c axis is partially inhibited and smaller aspect ratios of the nanorods are obtained than in alkylsulfate-free conditions. In the case of the hybrid lamellar ZnO structures which consist in ZnO layers intercalated with alkylsulfate bilayers, the structural characteristics depend on the alkylene chain length. Basal spacings increase linearly with the chain length, while the plate size decreases dramatically when the chain length exceeds C14. The different characteristics of these ZnO nanostructured films allow modifying their optical properties
