Abstract

With ZnS nanoparticles as raw materials, two kinds of nanorods were fabricated. When ZnS nanoparticles were dispersed in Zn(NO3)2 solution and were treated in a sealed autoclave at 150 °C for 24 h, ZnO nanorods formed. ZnS nanoparticles work as a source of monomers for the growth of ZnO nanorods. With increase of concentration of Zn(NO3)2 solution, the products present long nanorods, short nanorods, star structure and bulk particle sequentially. When ZnS nanoparticles were kept in a solution at room temperature, ZnS nanorods formed after 21 days. ZnS nanoparticles work as assembly parts. They fit together spontaneously and present ZnS nanorods with many parallel stripes along the lengthways surface. To check the generality of self-assembling, PdS and Y2S3 nanorods were also fabricated.
