Abstract
Synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods was achieved by thermal decomposition of the precursor of ZnC 2O 4 obtained via chemical reaction between Zn(CH 3COO) 2·2H 2O and H 2C 2O 4·2H 2O in the presence of surfactant nonyl phenyl ether (9)/(5) and NaCl flux. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the structure features and chemical compositions of the as-made nanorods. The results showed that the as-prepared nanorods are composed of ZnO with diameter of 10–60 nm, and lengths ranging from 1 to 3 μm. The mechanism of formation of ZnO nanorods is also discussed.
