Abstract

Characteristics of nano-structured $SiO_2:Zn$ hollow powders prepared in the micro drop fluidized reactor process were investigated with respect to bandgap energy and surface activity. The $SiO_2:Zn$ hollow powders were successfully prepared continuously in the one step process with reasonable production efficiency, with varying the amount of THAM (tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane) additive and concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ ions. The doping of $Zn^{2+}$ ions into $SiO_2$ lattice led to the reduction of bandgap energy by forming the acceptor level of $Zn^{2+}$ below the conduction band of $Si^{4+}$ ions. The hollow shape also contributed to reduce the bandgap energy of $SiO_2:Zn$ powders. The doping of $Zn^{2+}$ ions into $SiO_2$ hollow powders could enhance the surface activity by forming SiO-H stretching and oxygen vacancies at the surface of $SiO_2:Zn$ powders.

미세액적 유동반응기 공정에서 제조된 나노구조 $SiO_2:Zn$ 원환형 입자의 특성을 밴드갭 에너지와 표면 반응성의 관점에서 고찰하였다. $SiO_2:Zn$ 원환형 입자를 단일 공정에서 연속적이며 합리적인 생산 효율로 첨가제인 THAM (tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane)과 도핑되는 $Zn^{2+}$ 이온의 농도 변화에 따라 성공적으로 제조할 수 있었다. 그리고 $Zn^{2+}$ 이온의 도핑은 $Si^{4+}$ 이온의 conduction band 보다 에너지 레벨이 낮은 $Zn^{2+}$ 이온의 acceptor level을 형성함으로써 $SiO_2:Zn$ 원환형 입자의 밴드갭 에너지를 줄일 수 있었다. 또한, 입자의 원환형 구조는 $SiO_2:Zn$ 입자의 밴드갭 에너지를 감소시키는데 기여하였다. 따라서 $Zn^{2+}$ 이온이 도핑된 $SiO_2:Zn$ 원환형 입자는 표면에 SiO-H의 형성과 산소 결함의 생성으로 표면 반응성을 증대시킬 것으로 사료되었다.
