Abstract

At present, most of the methods for preparing ZnO nanotubes are chemical etching of ZnO nanorods, which is inefficient and takes a long time. In this paper, ZnO nanotubes were successfully prepared by galvanostatic etching. Nanotubes prepared by galvanostatic etching only took 1/6 of the time of chemical etching. The ZnO nanotubes obtained by two different methods were tested by XRD and SEM. It is found that the crystal structure and crystallinity of the ZnO nanotubes obtained by galvanostatic etching are unchanged, and the internal corrosion of the nanotubes by galvanostatic etching is more thorough and has a larger specific surface area. In the tests of UV-vis spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectra and electrochemical performance test, the optical properties and electrochemical performance of ZnO nanotubes obtained by galvanostatic etching are better than those obtained by chemical etching. Because the ZnO nanotubes obtained by galvanostatic etching have larger specific surface area, better optical properties and better electrochemical performance, they have a greater application prospect in sensors and ultraviolet light detectors.
