Growth of ZnO Nanostructures at Different Temperatures without Catalyst by Wet Thermal Oxidation Process

Abstract:

In this study, an efficient method to achieve a wide range of high-quality zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures through zinc powder evaporation at different temperatures is developed. ZnO nanostructures could be synthesized on n-type silicon substrates by a simple thermal evaporation technique without a catalyst at 600°C, 700°C, 800°C, and 900°C. Samples are annealed in wet oxygen and ambient argon gases. Surface morphology, crystallinity, and optical properties of the ZnO nanostructures are examined by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscope measurements, X-ray diffraction, and photoluminescence measurement.
