Abstract

In this paper we report a simple and versatile wet chemical route to synthesize bulk amounts of high quality Zinc Oxide nanorods. The purified nanorods have been characterized for its size and shape using FESEM, optical properties using UV-Visible spectrophotometer and crystal structure using XRD. The length and width of the nanorods are 311 ± 68 nm, 39 ± 10 nm respectively. The UV-Visible absorption spectrum shows an absorption peak at 370 nm due to Zinc Oxide nanorods. XRD analysis revealed hexagonal Wurtzite structure of the Zinc Oxide nanorods with crystallite size being 29.3 nm.
