| Abstract: | Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures have been grown on glass and silicon
substrate by microwave assisted wet-chemical (MAWC) method and thermal
evaporation using TGA. The effect of different preparative parameters on the
growth of ZnO nanostructures has been studied. The synthesized nanostructures
are characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, particle size analyzer, XRD, SEM,
and EDX. ZnO nanostructures, i.e. nanorods (NRs) obtained using evaporation
method are of
200-250 nm in diameter and nanopolypods (NPPs) with pod diameter in the range
150-200 nm and pod length in the range 700-800 nm, whereas from MAWC method,
NRs produced are 100-150 nm in diameter and NPPs with pod diameter in the range
150-200 nm and 1.5-2 µm of pod length. XRD studies show that the prepared
samples are nanocrystalline in nature with hexagonal wurtzite phase and highly
oriented along (002) direction. |
