Effects of pH on the Growth of ZnO Nanorod Arrays in Aqueous Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Well-aligned crystalline ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized on the glass substrate via an aqueous solution route, and the effect of the pH value on structural properties and morphology of ZnO nanorod arrays was investigated using XRD and FESEM. FESEM micrographs show the formation of ZnO nanorod arrays at different pH values. XRD patterns confirm that the ZnO nanorods were wurtzite structure preferentially oriented in c-axis direction and the highest quality of nanorod array was formed at high pH value.
