Study on Preparation of Porous ZnO Microspheres and Photocatalytic Performance

摘要

This paper introduces the method of porous ZnO microspheres by sodium citrate assisted hydrothermal synthesis with a mild, economy: first, basic synthesis globose precursor of Zinc Carbonate Hydroxide, then followed by thermal decompose the precursor to obtain porous Zinc Oxide microspheres. The morphology and structure of the precursor and synthesized porous microspheres were characterize by a series of methods, and did a series of experiments by changing dosage and reaction time of the sodium citrate and urea, finally the paper discussed the formation mechanism of porous ZnO microspheres.
