Effect Of Au Thickness On The Structural Properties Of Carbon Nanostructure Deposited On Nanostructured ZnO Thin Film As A Template

摘要

We have prepared different thickness of Au as a catalyst to deposit ZnO nanostructure on Au-coated seed surfaces by sol-gel method immerse technique method. The ZnO nanostructure will be used as template to deposit carbon nanostructure by using thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD). The carbon material has been successfully grown by using ZnO nanostructure material as template. Rod-like ZnO appeared along with sphere-like carbonaceous material on the surface of the template. The as-prepared material has been characterized with XRD, FESEM and FTIR. The XRD peaks of the products were indexed to ZnO materials, but exhibited different relative intensities for the (002) diffraction peak. ZnO play a role as a template for the growth of the carbonaceous material and they can link ZnO particles together as a complex fabrication. This discovery is useful for nano-electronic applications.
