Branched nanostructures of semiconductors based on one-dimensional heterostructures have many promising applications in optoelectronics, supercapacitors, photocatalysts, etc. Here, we report a novel branched core/shell CdO/ZnO hetero-nanostructure that resembles a Crimson bottlebrush (Callistemon Citrinus) but with intriguing hexagonal symmetry. The nanomaterials were fabricated via an improved one-step chemical vapor deposition method and consist of a CdO wire as the core and ZnO as the shell. With cadmium acting as a catalyst, ZnO nanowires grow as perpendicular branches from the CdO/ZnO one-dimensional core/shell structure. The nanostructures were characterized with X-ray diffraction scanning and transmission electron microscopy. A homogeneous epitaxial growth mechanism has been postulated for the formation of the nanostructure. The materials show a broad and strong absorption ranging from visible to ultraviolet and a better photoelectrocatalytic properties in comparison to pure ZnO or CdO. Our synthetic strategy may open up a new way for controlled preparation of one-dimensional nanomaterials with core/shell heterostructure, which could find potential applications in solar cells and opto-electrochemical water-splitting devices.

支链CdO / ZnO核/壳非均相结构及其增强的光电催化性能

基于一维异质结构的半导体支化纳米结构在光电子,超级电容器,光催化剂等方面具有许多有希望的应用。在这里,我们报道了一种新型的核芯/壳CdO / ZnO异质纳米结构,类似于深红色的毛笔刷Callistemon Citrinus),但具有令人感兴趣的六角形对称性。纳米材料是通过改进的一步化学气相沉积法制备的,由CdO线为核,ZnO为壳。以镉为催化剂,ZnO纳米线以垂直分支的形式从CdO / ZnO一维核/壳结构中生长出来。用X射线衍射扫描和透射电子显微镜对纳米结构进行表征。假定均匀的外延生长机制用于纳米结构的形成。与纯ZnO或CdO相比,该材料显示出从可见光到紫外线的广泛而强的吸收性,并具有更好的光电催化性能。我们的合成策略可能为控制制备具有核/壳异质结构的一维纳米材料开辟一条新途径,
