Effect of Hydrothermal Reaction Conditions on the Sizes and Morphologies of ZnO Nanorods

Abstract:

The influence factors of hydrothermal treatment on the formation process of ZnO nanorods are investigated involving with hydrothermal temperature, time and precursor concentration. The as-obtained products were characterized by Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. XRD result indicates that the obtained ZnO nanorods are high-quality single crystals. SEM results indicate that both the diameter and the length of ZnO nanorods increase with increasing the hydrothermal time and temperature. The precursor concentration prominently determines the morphologies of ZnO nanostructure from initial particle morphology to rod-like, and to final slice-like morphology.
