Abstract
Microporous and mesoporous ZnO nanosheets were successfully synthesized by a lowerature chemical bath deposition and subsequently thermal decomposition at 250 °C without any templates. Nanosheet-shaped zinc hydroxide nitrate (Zn3(OH)4(NO3)2) was formed as the precursors at 90 C for 6 days by chemical bath deposition in a close system. Microporous and mesoporous ZnO nanosheets were obtained from the removing of OH and NO3 groups from zinc hydroxide nitrate (Zn3(OH) 4(NO3)2) nanosheet- shaped precursors. The pore sizes were distributed in the region of ∼1.3-25 nm with a center at ∼2.4 nm. Such porous and nanosheets structure gave a highest specific surface area of 283.8 m2/g.
