ZnO nanorod arrays: Dependence of morphology upon ammonia

  • Research Article
  • Published:
Frontiers of Chemistry in China

Abstract

Well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays were prepared on FTO substrate by hydrothermal method at low temperature for 5 h. The effect of ammonia on the length of ZnO nanorod was studied in detail. The resulting materials were extensively characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-visible absorption spectra (scatter mode). With the increase of ammonia, the length of ZnO nanorod increases.
