SYNTHESIS METHOD OF ZINC OXIDES NANOCRYSTALS COATED WITH SILICA AND DECORATED WITH SILVER NANOPARTICLES

摘要

Nanostructure comprising a zinc oxide seed (ZnO) in the wurtzite hexagonal crystalline form, surface- coated with silver nanoparticles (Ag), said silver nanoparticles being adhered to the surface of said nanostructure, and being spaced to each other, characterized in that it further comprises a nanometric silicon dioxide layer interposed between said zinc oxide seed and said silver nanoparticles coating.
