Abstract:

One-dimensional CuC2O4/ZnO heterostructures were successfully prepared via hydrothermal reaction for 10 h at 120 ℃ using CuC2O4 microspheres as templates. Thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA), fieldemission scanning electron microscope(FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry(EDX), transmission scanning electron microscope(TEM) and powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the products. Results show that the obtained products are CuC2O4/ZnO nanorod bundles with 500 nm in diameter and 1 μm in length. Each rod bundle consists of many nanorods which grow along the same orientation. TEM image and EDX spectra show that the product is a uniformly heterostructured material formed from CuC2O4 and ZnO.
