Abstract
AbstractSynthesis of linked ZnO micro rods by microwave radiation and its characterization is presented in this report. In this simple microwave assisted solution phase route zinc nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine has been used as the starting materials for the synthesis of linked ZnO rods. Linked ZnO rods with various morphologies such as bipods, tripods, tetrapods and etc have been prepared. The influence of irradiation time of microwave on the formation of linked ZnO rods was investigated. X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used for the characterization of the product. The FESEM images showed ZnO rods of diameter in the range of 100‐200 nm and length around 5000 nm. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
