Preparation of ZnO Nanoparticles and Nanorods by Using CTAB Assisted Hydrothermal Method

摘要

ZnO nanoparticles and nanorods have been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. In thehydroermal method, Cetyltrimethyl ammoniumbromide (CTAB) surfactant plays an important role in morphological changes.The nanostructures have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), and Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). Effect of pH on morphology and photoluminescence properties isdiscussed.
