Abstract

It is established that the rate of oxidation of a massive zinc plate by supercritical water (SCW) at 673 K and 23 MPa increases and the morphology of obtained ZnO nanocrystals changes when strength E of the constant electric field applied perpendicular to the plate increases from 0 to 286 kV/m. A decrease in the SCW density at the same temperature results in the formation of a more compact nanostructured ZnO layer, while the increase in E leads to loosening of structure in the inner part of the ZnO layer.
