Abstract:

Nanostructured ZnO with versatile morphologies has great potential applications in many fields. In this work, ZnO materials with different morphologies were deposited on Zn foils by a simple aqueous solution method, and the shape of ZnO can be controlled by the concentration of Cl ions in the solution. Rods, spheres and platelets were obtained respectively with the concentration of Cl ions increase. The competition between Cl ions and growth units in the solution results the formation of ZnO materials with different morphologies. At the same time, the preferential orientation of the crystal plane is also changed by the concentration of Cl ions. The different morphologies of ZnO grown form this kind of solution method was also explained.
