Abstract

We synthesized ZnO nanoparticles by laser ablation of a Zn target in water at pressures up to 30 MPa. We observed the enhancement of the crystallinity of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles when high pressure was applied to ambient water. In addition, we found that ZnO nanoparticles with smaller sizes were synthesized by pressurizing ambient water. Considering our previous understanding on the effect of high pressure applied to ambient liquid, the controls of the structure and the size of nanoparticles were considered to be obtained via the controls of the dynamics of laser ablation plasma and ablation-induced cavitation bubble.
