In summary, hexagonal ZnO nano rods with different aspect ratio have been synthesized via a simple microwave assisted chemical precipitation method successfully.
The morphology of the synthesized rods greatly depends on the basicity of the reacting solution. The FT-IR spectra confirm the product formation.
XRD establishes the phase purity and crystallinity. SEM shows the rod shape of the samples. RTPL spectra of the as-synthesized products A2 and A3 show strong UV emission ataround 3.28 eV and 3.26 eV and weak green emission.
This simple, low cost and surfactant free method could be utilized to
Hence a simple and inexpensive synthetic process is required.
Herein, we report a simple and effective approach using a solvent and surfactant free microwave assisted wet chemical synthesis other semiconductors with various morphologies by changing the time of the MW irradiation.
