“…The particle‐decoration method means the attachment of additional particles on smooth substrates to form rough geography surfaces. Recently reported methods for particle decoration mainly include plasma deposition, physical vapor deposition (PVD), smoke deposition, dip coating, spin coating, spray coating, and immersion . For example, Yu et al reported a hydrophobic polymer sponge with a hierarchical roughness surface by immersing a sponge into a mixture containing SiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) and PDMS.…”

Oil sorbents play a very important part in the remediation processes of oil spills. To enhance the oil-sorption properties and simplify the oil-recovery process, various advanced oil sorbents and oil-collecting devices based on them have been proposed recently. Here, we firstly discuss the design considerations for the fabrication of oil sorbents and describe recently developed oil sorbents based on modification strategy. Then, recent advances regarding oil sorbents mainly based on carbon materials and swellable oleophilic polymers are also presented. Subsequently, some additional properties are emphasized, which are required by oil sorbents to cope with oil spills under extreme conditions or to facilitate the oil-collection processes. Furthermore, some oil-collection devices based on oil sorbents that have been developed recently are shown. Finally, an outlook and challenges for the next generation of oil-spill-remediation technology based on oil-sorbents materials are given.

“…Among the various metal nanoparticles, zinc nanoparticles (Zn NPs) have been widely investigated because of the unusual properties due to their size and shape, which find wide range of technical applications. Zn NPs have received a considerable amount of attention for their applications in super hydrophobic substrate [4], rechargeable electrical batteries [5], gas sensor [6], corrosion resistance materials [7][8][9], and as substrates in the studies of catalysis [10].…”

Nanocrystalline zinc was electrodeposited by reducing the Zn 2? ion from acid sulphate bath at room temperature. The effect of reaction parameters on the particle size, nature and spectral characteristics are deliberated. The surface morphology and texture of zinc nanoparticles (Zn NPs) were characterised by high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). SEM and TEM images showed the Zn NPs were in hexagonal structural morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis reveals the chemical stoichiometry, and purity of the particles formed. The powder X-ray diffraction data indicates that the reflections of Zn NPs correspond hexagonal close packing structure with space group of P63/mmc. The line broadening was analysed by Debye-Scherrer equation and the average crystallite size of the zinc Nps synthesised at room temperature was in the range of 29 nm. WilliamsonHall analysis was used to study the contribution of crystallite size and lattice strain on the peak broadening. The surface plasmon resonance peak for the Zn NPs was observed near the blue shift with optical band gap of 3.38 eV. The influences of the current density, pH, additives, and concentration medium were analysed.

“…Transmittance in the visible region decreased with increasing deposition temperature, which can possibly be explained by the deposition of metallic zinc. 35) In the electrodeposition of ZnO, reduction of oxygen and zinc ions occurred competitively. Hence, decreased oxygen concentration would lead to enhanced zinc ion reduction.…”

Effects of Deposition Temperature on the Electrochemical Deposition of Zinc Oxide Thin Films from a Chloride Solution

The structural, electrical, and optical properties of ZnO thin films electrochemically deposited from a chloride solution are investigated. We focus on deposition temperatures. The band gap energy decreased from 3.50 to 3.44 eV as deposition temperatures increased from 60 to 80°C. This variation of band gap is discussed with respect to both conduction and valence band shifts, and the Burstein-Moss effect caused by numerous carriers. Increase in the carrier density of ZnO thin films was observed with increasing deposition temperature; a markedly-high carrier density of 1 © 1021 cm3 was exhibited. The origin of the carrier density was also investigated. Although the Cl content in ZnO thin films decreased with increasing deposition temperature, the increase of Cl acting as a donor was indicated. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.M2013386
