Synthesis and evolution of novel hollow ZnO urchins by a simple thermal evaporation process
Article Abstract:
Delicate hollow ZnO urchins are fabricated by thermal evaporation of metallic zinc powders in a tube furnace without the use of additive, high temperature, or low pressure. Studies indicated that the growth of hollow ZnO urchins involves the vaporization of Zn powder, solidification of liquid droplets, surface oxidation, sublimation, and self-catalytic growth of one-dimensional nanowires.

Thickness-dependent photocatalytic performance of ZnO nanoplatelets
Article Abstract:
The large-scale synthesis of ZnO nanoplatelets, as thin as 10 nm is reported. The nanoplatelets show higher efficiency in photodegrading organic dyes than ZnO nanorodes do and the photocatalytic decomposition of organic dyes (eosin B) by ZnO nanoplatelets compares favorably to the performance of ZnS porous nanoparticles and commercial Degussa P25 titania particles.

Growth of self-organized hierarchical ZnO nanoarchitectures by a simple In/In2S3 controlled thermal evaporation process
Article Abstract:
The controlled growth of novel hierarchical nanoarchitectures is reported, using a simple atmospheric pressure thermal vapor deposition method. In the process, both the morphology and the construction units could be efficiently controlled by a simple adjustment of the weight ratio of In/In2S3.
