A simple approach to synthesize ZnO microstructures was reported using dodecylamine, hexadecylamine and oleylamine as template agents. The synthesized ZnO was characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, EDS mapping, FTIR, UV-vis DRS, Raman spectroscopy and BET analysis. Hierarchical oriented ZnO microstructures were obtained. The photocatalytic performance of ZnO prepared with different types of alkylamines was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO). The results suggested that alkylamine control the nucleation, growth and morphology of ZnO. The photocatalytic properties of ZnO on the degradation of MB and MO decreased with increasing the alkyl chain length in alkylamine.

据报道，使用十二烷基胺，十六烷基胺和油胺作为模板剂，可以合成ZnO微观结构的简单方法。通过XRD，FESEM，TEM，EDS作图，FTIR，UV-vis DRS，拉曼光谱和BET分析对ZnO进行了表征。获得了分层取向的ZnO微结构。通过亚甲基蓝（MB）和甲基橙（MO）的降解来评估用不同类型的烷基胺制备的ZnO的光催化性能。结果表明，烷基胺控制着ZnO的成核，生长和形貌。ZnO对MB和MO降解的光催化性能随着烷基胺中烷基链长度的增加而降低。
