ABSTRACT

A solution surface-erosion route was successfully employed to produce one-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanostructures. ZnO nanorod arrays and three-dimensional urchin-like assemblies could be selectively obtained with different manipulations. In this process, zinc foil was introduced to an organic solution system and acted both as a reactant and substrate to support the 1D nanostructures obtained. This method, without any template, apparatus, surfactants, or additional heterogenous substrates, has greatly simplified the preparation of oriented 1D ZnO nanostructures. In particular, this simple route could be carried out at room temperature over a period as short as several minutes, thus it could be conveniently transferred to industrial applications. The possible formation mechanism, erosion process, and influence factors were also investigated.
