Abstract

ZnO nanorods was synthesized by using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition process and grown by hydrothermal method on a glass substrate. The influences of varying Co doping in structural, morphological and optical properties were investigated by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrometry, respectively. All the nanorods exhibit polycrystalline wurtzite structure with smaller crystalline size on the Co-doped nanorods. The nanorods also show no orientation alignment and random particle size. Interestingly, the nanorods with 3 wt.% Co doped shows high absorbance at UV and visible region indicating that optical properties of the ZnO nanorods have been modified by Co doping.
