Abstract
A simple mild solution method is developed to synthesize a novel nanoribbon multicomponent precursor. A new 1-D nanostructure, porous structured nanoribbons which are self-assembled by textured ZnO nanoparticles, was found upon removal of ligand molecules from the ribbonlike precursor. The structure combines 1-dimensional geometry with nanoparticle morphology and displays porous structure because there are gaps/pores between the particles. The orientation textured structure of the ZnO nanoparticles can be formed by controlling the annealing time. The ZnO nanoparticle nanoribbons exhibit a long geometrical shape, uniformity, a high aspect ratio, and different optical activities with different nanostuctures. These findings demonstrate a convenient, simple technique for production of the novel one-dimensional semiconductor nanostructure suitable for subsequent processing into nanostructures, materials, and devices.
