Abstract

Abstract : High‐quality Al‐doped ZnO nanosheet arrays have been prepared by hydrothermal methods assisted with the pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF). These effects of PEMF on the morphology and structural properties of Al‐doped ZnO nanosheet arrays were studied in detail. Results showed Al‐doped ZnO nanosheet arrays with PEMF had better orientation, more density, a greater ratio of diameter to thickness and stronger ultraviolet emission peak than those without PEMF. Finally, a possible mechanism of PEMF acting on Al‐doped ZnO nanosheet arrays is proposed.
