In situ observation of the formation of hollow zinc oxide shells
Abstract
Single crystal zinc particles, 1–2 μm1–2 μm in diameter, were observed in situ with transmission electron microscopy during sublimation. The rate of sublimation is strongly dependent on the presence of a surface oxide layer. Near 375°, minimally oxidized Zn surfaces sublime in tens of seconds, consistent with a model in which the particle behaves similarly to an isolated microscale effusion cell. By contrast, zinc particles fully enclosed by oxide sublime less than one-tenth as quickly. Here these results provide new insight into the synthesis mechanisms of hollow ZnO microspheres and related structures formed from metallic zinc at elevated temperatures.
