โœฆ Synopsis

ZnS nanorods were synthesized in lamellar liquid crystals of C(12)E(4) by mixing zinc ions and thioacetamide (TAA) solution. The effects of the reactant concentration and the surfactant/water molar ratio in the liquid crystal system on the morphology and size of the ZnS particles were investigated. The prepared ZnS particles are regular nanorods having a width of about 60 nm and a length of about 80-380 nm, with a largest aspect ratio of about 6.3. A lamellar liquid crystal templating mechanism has been proposed to interpret the experimental results.

Inorganic and organic template methods were reviewed, and it was assumed that the mineral template method and the composite template method could be efficient ways to synthesize mesoporous carbons with a low cost and a wide availability. The composite template method has advantages of both "soft-tem
