A facile strategy has been developed to synthesize double-shelled Zn(OH)2 nanoflowers (DNFs) at room temperature. The nanoflowers were generated via conversion of Cu2 O nanoparticles (NPs) using ZnCl2 and Na2 S2 O3 by a simple process. Outward diffusion of the Cu(2+) , produced by an oxidation process on the surface of NPs, and the inward diffusion of Zn(2+) by coordination and migration, eventually lead to a hollow cavity in the inner NPs with a double-shelled 3D hollow flower shapes. The thickness of the inner and outer shells is estimated to be about 20 nm, and the thickness of nanopetals is about 7 nm. The nanoflowers have large surface areas and excellent adsorption properties. As a proof of potential applications, the DNFs exhibited an excellent ability to remove organic molecules from aqueous solutions.
已开发出一种简便策略,可在室温下合成双壳层氢氧化锌纳米花(DNFs)。通过一个简单过程,利用氯化锌和硫代硫酸钠将氧化亚铜纳米颗粒(NPs)进行转化,从而生成这些纳米花。由纳米颗粒表面氧化过程产生的Cu(2+)向外扩散,以及通过配位和迁移产生的Zn(2+)向内扩散,最终导致内部纳米颗粒形成具有双壳层三维空心花形状的中空腔。内壳和外壳的厚度估计约为20 nm,纳米花瓣的厚度约为7 nm。这些纳米花具有大表面积和优异的吸附性能。作为潜在应用的一个证明,DNFs表现出从水溶液中去除有机分子的优异能力。
