20.500.12556/RUL-135304 Recent advances in the plasma-assisted synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles An overview of recent work on the low-temperature plasma-assisted synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles is presented and interpreted in terms of gas-phase and surface reactions with illustrated examples. The thermodynamical nonequilibrium conditions allow the formation of chemically reactive species with a potential energy of several eV, which readily interact with the Zn precursors and initiate reactions leading to the formation of nanoparticles or nanowires. The highquality nanowires were synthesized from Zn powders only upon interaction with moderately ionized plasma in a narrow range of plasma parameters. This technique is promising for the synthesis of large quantities of nanowires with aspect ratios well above 10, but the exact range of parameters remains to be determined. Apart from the ex situ techniques, the ZnO nanoparticles can be synthesized by depositing a film of precursors (often Zn salts or Zn-containing organometallic compounds) and exposing them to oxygen plasma. This technique is useful for the synthesis of well-adherent ZnO nanoparticles on heat-sensitive objects but requires further scientific validation as it often leads to the formation of a semicontinuous ZnO film rather than nanoparticles. Both low-pressure and atmospheric plasmas are useful in converting the precursor film into ZnO nanoparticles despite completely different mechanisms. plasma synthesis zinc oxide nanoparticles true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2022-03-07 13:27:19 2022-03-07 13:27:20 2022-09-14 04:12:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 19 str. iss. 5, art. 1191 Vol. 11 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 533 2079-4991 10.3390/nano11051191 61486851 RAZ_Primc_Gregor_2021.pdf RAZ_Primc_Gregor_2021.pdf 1 9219018633566C2B2A9D333B8B9B5874 d997dd7fcc315c293641ab76a6904ad74307745424aed61d123988febd29bf98 04165c01-9e12-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154299 https://www.mdpi.com/2079-4991/11/5/1191 0 cbb8645e-9e11-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154298 Naravoslovnotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
