Figure 1From: Intensify the application of ZnO-based nanodevices in humid environment: O2/H2 plasma suppressed the spontaneous reaction of amorphous ZnO nanowiresThe spontaneous reaction of ZnO nanobranches (NBs) can be observed by optical microscope (OM). The morphology of ZnO NBs is varied with time and humidity (70% ± 2.5%, 80% ± 2.5%, and 90% ± 2.5%). (a, b, c) In high humidity (90% ± 2.5%), plenty of ZnO particles can be found around the ZnO NWs about 12 h. (d, e, f) When the humidity is around 80% ± 2.5%, a few ZnO NBs can be found within 12 h. (g, h, i) In low humidity (70% ± 2.5%), there are no ZnO NBs can be formed until 240 h.Back to article page
