Their structure and morphology were characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy(TEM), infrared spectroscopy(IR), and X-ray powder diffraction(XRD). The TEM results (indicate) that the diameters and lengths of the ZnO nanorods were ca. 25 nm and ca. 150 nm, respectively. The IR spectra show that the ZnO nanorods were modified by 1-butyl-3-ethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate. The XRD pattern reveals that the prepared ZnO nanorods belong to the hexagonal crystal system. The above-mentioned results indicate that ionic liquid can not only act as a reaction medium but also modify ZnO nanorods in the reaction.展开更多

The wettability of the films were studied. The films treated with octadecanethiol(ODT) possess super hydrophobic properties. The static contact angle for water of the ODT modified films is 155.3°±2.3°, and the advancing and receding angles are 156.5°±1.9° and 150.3°±2.8°, respectively. It is believed that the super hydrophobic property of the ZnO nanorod array films is mainly caused by the nanostructures of the films and the modification of ODT adsorption layer on ZnO surfaces.展开更多

TG-DSC, XRD, TEM and HRTEM results show that the crystal phase of the as-prepared ZnO nanorods has a hexagonal wurtzite structure with diameter from 30 to 50 nm and length up to 500 nm. The crystals grow along [001] direction. The mechanism for the ZnO nanorods growth was also discussed.展开更多
