Interstratified composite of the anionic clays, Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2∙2H2O and Ni3Zn2(OH)8(NO3)2∙2H2O, by delamination-costacking

Complex nanomineral formation utilizing kinetic control by PLAL

“…In contrast, the anionic clay Zn 5 (OH) 8 (NO 3 ) 2 • 2H 2 O was the product of PLAL in aqueous Zn(NO 3 ) 2 solution. Both complex minerals exist in nature, but are not the thermodynamically most stable compositions or phases of oxidized Zn under standard conditions [100][101][102][103]. Hence, our results further substantiated that kinetic control exceeded thermodynamic product formation during PLAL under our conditions.…”

Seedless growth of ZnO nanorods on TiO2 fibers by chemical bath deposition

“…Further careful analysis of the precipitates using XRD (Fig. 4c) shows that the pattern matched well with that of zinc hydroxide nitrate, namely Zn 5 IJOH) 8 IJNO 3 ) 2 •2H 2 O, which has been reported in the literature 17 (hereafter denoted as Zn 5 ). Fig.…”

“…However, according to a previous study, Zn 5 is thermally stable up to about 110 °C. 17 It could be deduced that an elevated temperature by itself does not directly decide the transition process. In order to better understand the transition mechanism of Zn 5 to ZnO, the crystal structures of Zn 5 and ZnO (Fig.…”

Synthesis of porous zinc-based/zinc oxide composites via sol–gel and ambient pressure drying routes

“…The FTIR spectrum of sample ZBAG1 (Fig. 6) shows a broad band around 3300 cm −1 and a peak around 1630 cm −1 that corresponds to O–H stretching and H–O–H bending of Zn 5 (OH) 8 (NO 3 ) 2 ·2H 2 O, respectively [34], and further band at ~ 1363 cm −1 corresponds to NO 3 vibrations in Zn–NO 3 [35]. The FTIR spectrum of sample ZOAG1 shows the most prominent band is observed in energy range 400–500 cm −1 , which corresponds to Zn–O stretch [36].…”
