Hierarchical ZnO Superstructures: Nanoflake-Decorated Nanonail Arrays.

By using metallic Zn powders as zinc source, we synthesized unusual hierarchical ZnO superstructures, nanoflake-decorated nanonail arrays, on a large scale via a simple low-temperature thermal evaporation method. The hierarchical superstructures were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy as well as selected area electron diffraction. Studies found that both the ZnO nanonails and the decorated ZnO nanoflakes are single-crystals, with the preferred growth orientations along the (001) direction.

Two novel hierarchical homogeneous nanoarchitectures of TiO2 nanorods branched and P25-coated TiO2 nanotube arrays and their photocurrent performances.

We report here for the first time the synthesis of two novel hierarchical homogeneous nanoarchitectures of TiO2 nanorods branched TiO2 nanotube arrays (BTs) and P25-coated TiO2 nanotube arrays (PCTs) using two-step method including electrochemical anodization and hydrothermal modification process. Then the photocurrent densities versus applied potentials of BTs, PCTs, and pure TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) were investigated as well. Interestingly, at -0.

Large-scale uniform α-Co(OH)₂ long nanowire arrays grown on graphite as pseudocapacitor electrodes.

Large-scale uniform α-Co(OH)₂ nanowire arrays (NWAs) with an average length of ∼20 μm grown on pyrolytic graphite (PG) were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method at 120 °C. Ultrasonication test was carried out toward the as-made nanoarray products and the result demonstrated their robust adhesion to graphitic substrate. After 300 s of sonication testing, α-Co(OH)₂ NWAs could still possess both integrated one-dimensional (1D) nanoarray architecture and good electronic connections with current collector.
