Abstract

A study on the formation and characterization of ZnO nanocomb structure is presented. ZnO nanocomb was synthesized by the carbothermal reduction process with carbon black powder as a carbon source. As well as nanocomb, ZnO tetrapod and flower-like structures were also obtained in this experiment. When conventional graphite was used for a comparative study, no ZnO nanostructure could be achieved at the same experimental condition. The result shows that carbon source with large surface area more efficiently provides Zn_(g) by the enhanced solid-solid reaction between C_(s) and ZnO_(s) source materials. The resulting ZnO structures were characterized with an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the formation mechanism of nanocomb structure was discussed.
