IFR 시스템에 의한 ZnO 구조물의 성장
Growth of ZnO structure by an impinging flow reactor
ZnO is a valuable material for electronic devices, catalysts and sorbents for desulfurizaton because of its excellent chemical and thermal stability. We modified a CBD system and then proposed an impinging flow reactor (IFR) deposition system, which is based on the concept of combining chemical solution deposition and spray pyrolysis process, in an attempt to reduce the waste generated in the process. Zinc acetate [Zn(CH3COO)2ㆍ2H2O] was empolyed as a precursor. The effects of water bath temperature, impinging time and concentration of sodium hydroxide [NaOH] on the growth of the ZnO structure have been investigated in this study. It was confirmed that the size of fabricated ZnO structure was increased as the impinging time and water bath temperature were increased. The various flower-like morphologies were observed in terms of the concentration of NaOH. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images show the morphologies of the synthesized ZnO structures.
