抄録

Zinc oxide and layered zinc hydroxides were deposited from an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate at 323–358 K on a substrate plate with a very thin titanium dioxide film by a photocatalytic reaction. The amorphous or low crystalline zinc hydroxide aggregates were deposited at a low temperature. The zinc oxide crystals with about 1–2 μm-sized hexagonal columns and 10 nm-sized spheres were formed at 338–358 K. Nitrate ions in the solution were reduced to nitrite ions, and water was transformed into hydroxide ions by a photocatalytic reaction on the titanium dioxide film. The pH value increased on the substrate surface with the titanium dioxide film, which caused the zinc hydroxide formation on the film. The zinc hydroxides were then dehydrated and transformed into zinc oxide. The average crystallite size of the zinc oxide decreased with an increase in the reaction temperature because the reaction rates of the formation and dehydration of the zinc hydroxides increased which resulted in an increase in the formation rate of the crystal zinc oxide nuclei.
