Abstract

Ultra-fine ZnO nanowires can be easily synthesized at 800°C in air via oxidation of Zn nanowires which is produced by heating ZnO+C mixture at 1100°C under a flow of nitrogen gas. Field-emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope investigations show that the ultra-fine ZnO nanowires grown out from Zn nanowires are high-quality single nanocrystals. The diameter of the ultra-fine ZnO nanowires ranges from 8 to 20nm and their length is 400nm - 1μm, having a high aspect ratio of ∼50. The growth mechanism of the ultra-fine ZnO nanowires is discussed.
