Synthesis and structure of quasi-one-dimensional zinc oxide doped with manganese

Nanotubes of manganese-doped zinc oxide Zn 1 − x Mn x O (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) were synthesized by heating the Zn 1 − x Mn x (HCOO)(OCH 2 CH 2 O) 1/2 precursor in air at 500°C. The precursor with extended crystals was synthesized by a solvothermal method based on heat treatment of a mixture of Zn 1 − x Mn x...

Description
Summary:Nanotubes of manganese-doped zinc oxide Zn 1 − x Mn x O (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) were synthesized by heating the Zn 1 − x Mn x (HCOO)(OCH 2 CH 2 O) 1/2 precursor in air at 500°C. The precursor with extended crystals was synthesized by a solvothermal method based on heat treatment of a mixture of Zn 1 − x Mn x (HCOO) 2 · 2H 2 O with an ethylene glycol excess at 100–130°C. The tubular morphology of Zn 1 − x Mn x O particles was identified by transmission electron microscopy. Tubular quasi-one-dimensional particles were shown to have a nanodispersed polycrystalline structure, the size of separate crystallites being from 5 to 20 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggested that the manganese distribution on the outer surface layer of Zn 1 − x Mn x O nanotubes is nonuniform.
