Zn₂GeO₄ nanoribbons were synthesized via a microwave-hydrothermal method. The effects of reaction factors, such as reaction temperature, amount of reactants and template, were investigated and optimized for the formation of Zn₂GeO₄ nanoribbons. The products were characterized by various techniques including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). Photocatalytic activities of the synthesized Zn₂GeO₄ nanostructures were evaluated for the degradation of aqueous methyl orange. Experimental results indicated that Zn₂GeO₄ nanoribbons can be synthesized from Zn(CH₃COO)₂ and GeO₂ (molar ratio 2: 1) under microwave irradiation at 160℃ for 20 min. The nanoribbons have uniformsizes with widths of 100 nm and are tens of micrometers in length. Compared with conventional hydrothermal methods, Zn₂GeO₄ nanoribbons from microwave-hydrothermal synthesis have less native defects, lower PL spectra, 50.7% larger specific surface area, and 54.7% higher photocatalytic activity.
