Abstract

Reddish-brown N-containing semiconductor ZnO nanorods have been prepared by microwave-assisted aqueous chemical reaction and subsequent heat treatment process. The as-prepared products have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectrum. The diameter and length of ZnO nanorods are estimated to be 40-60 and 300-500 nm, respectively and the long-radius ratio is about 10:1. According to XPS analysis, the concentration of N in ZnO is calculated to be 9.92 %. Room temperature photoluminescence spectrum shows a strong UV peak at 383 nm and a weak broad orange-red band emission centered at 603 nm. As a multi-functional material, this high N-containing ZnO nanorods may be applied in solar cell, photo-electron device and photocatalyst, etc.
