  • The amphiphilic calixarene, namely propyl resorcinol calix[4]arene (PRCA), hexyl resorcinol calix[4] arene (HRCA), and nonyl resorcinol calix[4]arene (NRCA), was used to induce the preparation of ZnO micro-nano structure under the refluxing condition seperately. The composition, morphology, and microstructure of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, FT-IR, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Rhodamine B was used as a simulated pollutant to investigate the photocatalytic performance of the ZnO micro-nano structure protected by the resorcinol calix[4]arene. The characterization results showed that the size and morphology of ZnO particles could be controlled by the amphiphilic calixarenes which contained more carbon atoms in the linear alkyl chain connecting to the lower edge (HRCA and NRCA). However, the ability to control the morphology of ZnO was weak when without a protective agent and the resorcinol calix[4]arene with a short linear alkyl chain at the lower edge (PRCA). Under simulated sunlight, the photocatalytic efficiency of HRCA-ZnO and NRCA-ZnO was similar and higher than those of ZnO prepared without a protective agent and PRCA-ZnO.
