Hydrothermal synthesis of shaped ZnO nanostructures

Zinc oxide (ZnO) powders were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process in the temperature range of 50 to 100 C. Nanocrystallites were formed by a simple hydrothermal route from aqueous solutions of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O) and NaOH under controlled process conditions such as precursor concentration (0.07 to 1 mol/L), reaction pH (7 to 11) and temperatures. Single phase ZnO p...
