Abstract
ZnO microrods (ZnO-MRs) have unique properties that make them highly attractive for applications such as optoelectronics, electronics, and sensors. This work demonstrates the successful synthesis of high-quality ZnO-MRs using a laser-assisted chemical bath deposition method. The optimal growth temperature for high-quality ZnO-MRs was found to be 61.10 °C, considerably lower than that required for conventional chemical methods. Various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and UV-Vis spectrometry, confirmed the structural and optical properties of the synthesized ZnO-MRs. The UV detection potentialities of the fabricated ZnO-MRs were investigated. All samples exhibited good UV detection capabilities with the sample grown at 61.10 °C showing the best performance with fast response and recovery times of 1.260 s and 1.398 s, respectively. These findings hold immense potential for developing more efficient methods for synthesizing ZnO-MRs for use in various applications.
