Summary: This paper demonstrates the synthesis of rhombic ZnO microrods surrounded by ZnO nanorods on zinc foils using a hydrothermal method. Photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B solution was employed to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the fabricated samples. The hierarchical micro/nanostructures formed by ZnO nanorods surrounding the surfaces of rhombic ZnO microrods exhibited superior photocatalytic performance compared to rhombic Zn(OH)F and ZnO microrods. The enhanced performance can be attributed to the larger surface area of the hierarchical ZnO micro/nanostructures. Additionally, the ZnO nanorods grown on the rhombic ZnO microrods demonstrated recyclability and relatively stable photocatalytic performance.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
