摘要
Large-scale oriented ZnO nanocone arrays were directly grown on zinc substrate through a hydro-thermal reaction of Zn foil with aqueous butylamine solution(3 mol/L) at 100-180 ℃ for 12 h.The syn-thesized products were characterized with X-ray diffraction,Raman spectrum,scanning electron mi-croscopy and transmission electron microscopy.The results showed that the ZnO nanocones were single crystalline with the wurtzite structure and grown along the [0001] direction.The diameter of nanocones is decreased with increasing the reaction temperature.A possible growth mechanism was also proposed to account for the formation of the ZnO nanocone arrays.The photoluminescence spectra of the ZnO nanocone arrays were studied at room temperature,two UV emission bands at 377 and 396 nm assigned to free exciton emission and exciton-exciton collision,respectively,and phonon replicas associated with 2-E2 phonon were observed in the PL spectra.
