Abstract

Abstract: Bionic Al2 O3 nanostructure was successfully prepared by using epipremnum aureum leaf as a bio-template. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG) were used to characterize the Bionic Al2 O3 .The results showed that the optimum temperature is 1200 °C, and the as received bionic Al2 O3 was rhombohedral system with rod-like shape. The rod-like Al2 O3 are all over the epipremnum aureum leaf blade, which perfectly builds up the original leaf surface morphology and porous structure of cross section.
