ZINC OXIDE-CELLULOSE NANOCOMPOSITE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a zinc oxide-cellulose nanocomposite made of cellulose and zinc oxide nanoparticles, and a method of producing same. The nanocomposite of the present invention is characterized in that zinc oxide particles are contained as a seed on the surface of, inside of, or on the surface and inside of a cellulose film, and a zinc oxide film is formed on the cellulose surface through additional growth of the nanoparticles. The nanocomposite of the present invention can significantly improve piezoelectricity compared to simple cellulose piezoelectric paper, and can be used for LEDs and photovoltaic power generating devices through the doping of zinc oxide.
