Nanosized (5 to 10 nm) amorphous and crystalline nanocondensates, i.e., metallic α-phase of Zn-Cu alloy in face-centered cubic structure and (Zn,H)-codoped cuprite (Cu2O) with high-pressure-favored close-packed sublattice, were formed by pulsed laser ablation on bulk Cu65Zn35 in water and characterized by X-ray/electron diffractions and optical spectroscopy. The as-fabricated hybrid nanocondensates are darkish and showed photoluminescence in the whole visible region. Further dwelling of such nanocondensates in water caused progressive formation of a rice-like assembly of (Zn,H)-codoped tenorite (CuO) nanoparticles with (001), (100), and {111} preferred orientations, (111) tilt boundary, yellowish color, and minimum bandgap narrowing down to ca. 2.7 eV for potential photocatalytic applications.
通过在水中对块状Cu65Zn35进行脉冲激光烧蚀,形成了纳米尺寸(5至10纳米)的非晶态和晶态纳米凝聚物,即面心立方结构的Zn-Cu合金金属α相和具有高压有利于密堆积亚晶格的(Zn,H)共掺杂铜酸盐(Cu2O),并通过X射线/电子衍射和光谱学对其进行了表征。所制备的混合纳米凝聚物颜色较深,在整个可见光区域都显示出光致发光。这种纳米凝聚物在水中的进一步停留导致了具有(001)、(100)和{111}择优取向、(111)倾斜边界、淡黄色以及最小带隙窄至约2.7 eV的(Zn,H)共掺杂黑铜矿(CuO)纳米颗粒的米状聚集体逐渐形成,可用于潜在的光催化应用。
