High quality, large area and well-oriented ZnO nanorod arrays electrodes were successfully synthesized on conductive transparent oxide substrates by low-temperature hydrothermal methods for dye-sensitized solar cells. Aiming at getting further enhancement and study the effect of the surface modification on cell performance, ZnO thin film and ZnO nanoparticles are carried out to modify the as-grown ZnO nanorod arrays. The morphology, structure and photoluminescence property of the modified ZnO electrodes are characterized in detail.

Fabrication of a super-hydrophobic nanofibrous zinc oxide film surface by electrospinning

We report a new approach for fabricating a super-hydrophobic nanofibrous zinc oxide (ZnO) film surface. The pure poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and composite PVA/ZnO nanofibrous films can be obtained by electrospinning the PVA and PVA/zinc acetate solutions, respectively. After the calcination of composite fibrous films, the inorganic fibrous ZnO films with a reduced fiber diameter were fabricated. The wettability of three kinds of fibrous film surfaces were modified with a simple coating of fluoroalkylsilane (FAS) in hexane. The resultant samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), water contact angle (WCA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the pure PVA fibrous films maintained the super-hydrophilic surface property even after the FAS modification. Additionally, the WCA of composite fibrous films was increased from 105 to 132° with the coating of FAS. Furthermore, the surface property of inorganic ZnO fibrous films was converted from super-hydrophilic (WCA of 0°) to super-hydrophobic (WCA of 165°) after the surface modification with FAS. Observed from XPS data, the hydrophobicity of FAS coated various film surfaces were found to be strongly affected by the ratio of fluoro:oxygen on the film surfaces.     

Use of silane coupling agent for surface modification of zinc oxide as inorganic filler and preparation of poly(amide-imide)/zinc oxide nanocomposite containing phenylalanine moieties

A series of novel poly(amide?Cimide)/ZnO nanocomposites with modified ZnO nanoparticles contents was prepared by ultrasonic irradiation. For this purpose, surface of ZnO nanoparticle was modified with $\boldsymbol\gamma$ -aminopropyltriethoxysilane as a coupling agent. Then the effect of surface modification on dispersion of nanoparticles, thermal stability and UV absorption property of the obtained nanocomposites were investigated. The resulting novel nanocomposites were characterized by several techniques. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses of the nanocomposites were performed in order to study the dispersion of nanofillers in the polymer matrix. According to thermogravimetry analysis results, the addition of ZnO nanoparticles improved thermal stability of the obtained nanocomposites. Since the resulting nanocomposites contain phenylalanine amino acid and ZnO, they are expected to be biocompatible as well as biodegradable.     

Effect of surface treatment on thermal stability of the hemp-PLA composites: Correlation of activation energy with thermal degradation

The thermal behavior of hemp-poly lactic acid composites with both untreated and chemically surface modified hemp fiber was characterized by means of activation energy of thermal degradation. Three chemical surface modification employed were; alkali, silane and acetic anhydride. Model-free isoconversion Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method was chosen to evaluate the activation energy of composites. The results indicated that composites prepared with acetic anhydride modified hemp had 10–13% higher activation energy compared to other composites. Further, among the three surface modifications, acetic anhydride resulted in higher activation energy (159–163 kJ/mol). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy supported the findings of thermogravimetric analysis results, wherein surface functionalization changes were observed as a result of surface modification of hemp fiber. It was concluded that, higher bond energy results in higher activation energy, which improves thermal stability. The activation energy data can aid in better understanding of the thermal degradation behavior of composites as a function of composite processing.     

Influence of surface modification by 2-aminothiophenol on optoelectronics properties of ZnO nanoparticles

In this study, a precipitation method was used to synthesise ZnO nanoparticles using suitable precursors. An efficient surface modification method was proposed in order to reduce the agglomeration among synthesised small sized ZnO nanoparticles using 2-aminothiophenol as a capping agent. This article briefly investigated the effects of capping agent like 2-aminothiophenol on the optoelectronic properties of ZnO nanoparticles. The modified effectivity of 2-aminothiophenol has been examined on the nanosized ZnO nanoparticle for fluorescence and UV–visible (UV–vis) studies. The mechanism was studied for ZnO nanoparticles light emitting capability under different conditions. By facilitating the capping of ZnO with 2-aminothiophenol, fluorescence emission of the surface defects vanishes and ultraviolet (UV) emission increases. Surface capping by 2-aminothiophenol effectively covers most of the surface defects of ZnO and results in quenching of the visible region. The UV–vis absorption spectra of modified ZnO nanoparticles has been influenced by modified ZnO nanoparticles as a result of surface modification; where marked blue shift in absorption edge results. By surface modification of ZnO nanoparticles, change in optoelectronics properties has opened the new scope and possibilities to explore and fine tune the optical character of the modified ZnO for various optoelectronics applications such as UV laser.     

Photocatalytic degradation of Malachite Green dye by modified ZnO nanomaterial

In this article we report a chemical sol–gel approach to synthesize zinc oxide nanomaterials capped with ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA), citric acid and oleic acid, and to study the effect of the surface modification on their photocatalytic activity and the kinetics for the degradation of Malachite Green (MG) dye. The structural, optical and chemical features were systematically characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. The objective of using the capping agents was to confine the size and control the growth and morphology of the nanomaterial. The smallest crystallite size was recorded as 29 nm for EDTA-capped rod-shaped ZnO. A comparison study of the effect of the three different capping surfactants on ZnO nanomaterial for photocatalytic degradation of MG dye under solar light showed that EDTA with higher denticity coordinated efficiently with the surface of ZnO nanocrystalline catalysts and hence demonstrated better decolouration of the dye under solar light. The dye degradation followed the psuedo-first-order kinetics. EDTA proved to be the best capping agent among all the three for ZnO nanomaterial.
