Synthesis of zinc 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (Zn(PAN)2) nanobelts with nonlinear optical property

Abstract

Zn(PAN)2 nanobelts with widths of 100–200 nm and lengths of 1–2 μm have been successfully synthesized through a facile solvothermal method at 140 °C for 24 h. The composition, morphology and size of the as-prepared products were confirmed by elemental analysis (EA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of Zn/PAN molar ratio, reaction solvent and reaction time on the morphology of Zn(PAN)2 nanostructures have been studied systematically. A possible growth process of the Zn(PAN)2 nanobelts has been proposed. Moreover, the nonlinear optical property of the Zn(PAN)2 sample was investigated for the first time, indicating that these nanomaterials have potential future application in nonlinear optics.
