Abstract
Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) were successfully prepared by using phyto assisted solution immersion process. ZnO were grown on a glass substrate coated with ZnO nanoparticle thin-film as seed layer at annealing temperature of 450°C. The fabricated nanostructured ZnO exhibit absorption at ∼375 nm as revealed from the UV-visible absorption spectrum, and it is comparable with ZnO nanostructured synthesized from hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement revealed a sharp peak corresponding to the hexagonal wurtzite structure of nanostructured ZnO. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed average size of ZnO at 24.15 nm slightly smaller compared to synthesized from HMTA; 30.54 nm. It should also be highlighted that the needs of using this alternative green method are due to the advantages of low working temperature and cost-effective, and with the least possible damage to the environment.
