In previous work, ZnO nanorods and nanoflowers were synthesized on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) substrates by hydrothermal growth at low temperature ,using the different concentrations of equimolar (1:1) zinc nitrate Zn (NO3)26H2O and methenamine (C6H12N4) mixed as precursors solution, and adding ammonia solution to control the pH levels. In this paper, for comparison, the same experiment without ammonia solution was also discussed. SEM, XRD were utilized to characterize morphologies and crystal structures of ZnO. It was indicated that the pH of precursor solution leads to the significantly changes in the nanostructured ZnO. Besides, a hierarchical structure of some of the micro/nanotubes was obtained .The possible growth mechanism is discussed in this work.
