Abstract

A simple route for the synthesis of a novel mesoporous zinc oxide material having wurtzite like nanocrystalline pore walls by using Schiff-base amine as template is reported, which shows very high BET surface area (456 m2 g−1) and remarkably enhanced photoconductivity and photoluminescence at room temperature under visible light irradiation vis-à-vis bulk ZnO material.
