Abstract

The ZnO nanorods were prepared at 130 °C, 160 °C and 190 °C for 6 h by hydrothermal method. The structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods were invesitigated by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD pattern analysis showed that the ZnO nanorods are the hexagonal structure (space group P63 mc). No other crystal phases, such as Zn and Zn (OH)2 were detected. FT-IR study identified the sharp peak that appeared at 573 cm-1 is related with the ZnO stretching mode. Also, SEM images revealed that the diameter of a single ZnO crystal ranges from 100 to 300 nm and the length ranges from 1 to 3 μm.
