Abstract

ZnO short rods with large yield have been synthesized by a simple chemical solution deposition method at a low temperature of 80°C. Polymethyl methacrylate was used as the structure-directing agent in the formation of the rod-like ZnO crystals. X-ray powder diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the obtained product. The results showed that the as-prepared ZnO crystals were rod-like, which have fairly uniform diameter of around 0.5 ∼ 2 μm and length of 4 ∼ 6 μm. A possible formation mechanism of the ZnO rods has been considered.
