The wettability of the films were studied. The films treated with octadecanethiol(ODT) possess super hydrophobic properties. The static contact angle for water of the ODT modified films is 155.3°±2.3°, and the advancing and receding angles are 156.5°±1.9° and 150.3°±2.8°, respectively. It is believed that the super hydrophobic property of the ZnO nanorod array films is mainly caused by the nanostructures of the films and the modification of ODT adsorption layer on ZnO surfaces.展开更多

The film was sintered and characterised by Scanning Electron Microscopy （SEM）, X-Ray Diffraction （XRD） and chemisorption of oxygen. A culture bacterial consortium composed by gram negative rod-shaped microbes was prepared in a liquid agar in a flask. It was transported by air through a reactor equipped with a UV lamp with 3 and 5 sieves of a stainless steel wire coated with ZnO film. It was exposed in continuous in five experiments to photocatalytic advanced oxidation. The experiments showed a total efficiency for colony forming unit reduction of a maximum of 99.66% for a residence time of 20 seconds with 5 stainless steel wire where exposed in continuous to UV. Also they were evaluated at 7.5 seconds, observing that the contribution of residence time and amount of catalytic for the CFU reduction was quite similar. Variance analysis showed that the efficiency was significant with the no parametric Kruskal-Wallis test with P 〈 0.05. This technology could be used to clean indoor air of closed environments such as hospitals, crowded buildings or public transportation systems where airborne bacteria has been documented.展开更多

Samples were prepared at different thickness （62, 66, 74, 86, 92, and 110 nm）, and substrate temperature kept at 400 ℃ in all cases. Compressed Nitrogen was used as a cartier gas. The samples of the ZnO films were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and atomic force microscopy （AFM）. The XRD results indicated that the synthesized ZnO thin films have a pure wurtzite （hexagonal phase） structure. It can be seen that the highest texture coefficient was in （002） plan for nanostructure films. AFM measurement showed the grain size ranging from 62-86 nm. The optical band gap energy （Ee,） of ZnO nanostructure have two values for the same sample and the Eg decrease with increasing thickness utilizing the optical data using UV-Vis spectrophotometer.展开更多
