In our work, we synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) by a simple solvothermal method. Zinc acetate and NaOH were used as the precursors and ethanol as the solvent. The synthesis process is one-step and could produce a mass of ZnO NWs with small diameters and high aspect ratios. This solvothermal method is not critically sensitive to the growth temperature from 100 oC to 150 oC. For the majority of synthesized ZnO NWs, the lengths and dimensions are around 1 um ~ 10 um and 10 nm ~ 40 nm, respectively. We also discussed the effect of solvents on the morphologies of synthesized nanomaterials between solvothermal and hydrothermal methods. Then, we employed a microfiltration method for the fabrication of ZnO nanowires film (NF). Consequently, ZnO NWs were stacked on the microfiltration membrane forming a thin nanoporous film. After dried in room temperature, the thin ZnO NF could be wholly stripped off from the membrane. The ZnO NWs and NF were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD and SEM figures show that the ZnO NWs are single crystals with wurtzite crystal structure..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
