Abstract: The effect of various substrates on the morphology of ZnO nanorods synthesized by a low temperature solution method has been investigated. ZnO seed layers on the substrates were prepared by radio-frequency sputtering. ZnO nanorods have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM. FESEM results showed that hexagon-shaped ZnO nanorods with a diameter in the range of 30 nm to 80 nm and a length of about 1 μm were formed. The sharp (0002) peak in the XRD spectra indicates that the synthesized nanorods are single crystalline, grown along the [0001] direction. These findings have shown that the morphology of ZnO nanorods strongly depend on the substrate.
