Zinc oxide (ZnO) has attractive photocatalytic properties. However, the high recombination rate of the photo-excited charge carriers on this material often restricts application. Here, we report that hybridization of one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNT) on two dimensional (2D) porous ZnO nanosheets (NS) can be a promising strategy to overcome some of the challenges of ZnO. Specifically, a pulsed laser ablation technique was utilized to hybridize 1D CNT with 2D porous ZnO NS in environmentally friendly as well as super-economic (short time, less than 10 min) conditions. The synthesized ZnO NS-CNT hybrids show a significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for water splitting relative to their counterpart ZnO NS.

We prepared Zinc oxide nanomaterial employing PLA (pulsed laser ablation) technique. A pure Zn target was immersed in ultra-pure water (UPW) and it was subjected to several pulses (1st. and 2nd. harmonic) of the pumping Nd: YAG laser. The influence of changing laser’s wavelength (1064, 532) nm on the characterization of the produced nanoparticles was studied. The results obtained from studying the structure, topography, and morphology of the product showed that the particles have a hexagonal shape. Also, changing the wavelength of the laser from 532nm to 1064nm leads to size reduction and density increasing of the nanoparticles.
