In this research, ZnO nanorods were fabricated on the polymer substrate using a hydrothermal process. The grown nanorods were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and Raman measurements. ZnO nanorod arrays have been fabricated with diameter of 30-50 nm, and highly c-axis oriented with hexagonal wurtzite structure and perpendicular to the substrate with high crystalline quality. Room temperature Raman measurements exhibit high intensity E2 high mode and low intensity defect related mode.

In this study, ZnO nanowires are synthesized via ZnO nanorods at low temperature by using zinc acetate dehydrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone as precursor and capping, respectively. We use chemical solution method for synthesis of ZnO nanowires. Samples are characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. First, the nanorods are prepared at 300°C temperature, and then they are put into the furnace under air atmosphere at 450°C for 2 h. It is observed that nanowires with 20 nm diameter are produced. Photoluminescence spectra of nanorods and nanowires are compared. It shows that intensity of ultraviolet peak in the nanowires decreases but in contrast the intensity of green emission part increases. This is because, the surface effects such as oxygen vacancies increase in the structures of ZnO .

Ni-doped rod-like ZnO particles with doping concentration of 1 at.% were synthesized at 200°C by hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure hexagonal wurtzite structure without metallic Ni or other secondary phases and display rod-like shape with smooth surface. The magnetization measurements reveal that the Ni-doped rod-like ZnO particles show ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. The saturation magnetization and coercive field are 0.0046 emu/g and 15 Oe, respectively.

Uniform hexagonal prismatic zinc oxide rods were grown over the entire alumina substrate at 550°C using a two-step oxygen injection process, whether the substrates were coated with a catalyst or not. X-ray diffraction showed that all of the depositions exhibited a preferred orientation in the (002) plane. The influence of oxygen concentration was investigated by changing the oxygen flow rate. Oxygen concentration affected the size of ZnO nanorods, especially the diameter. The ZnO nanorods were further checked using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, Raman spectroscopy, and room-temperature ultraviolet lasing. The results showed that the rods were single crystals and had excellent optical properties. By observing the growth process, we found that the diameter increased slowly, but the longitudinal growth rate was very high. The growth of ZnO nanorods revealed that the uniform hexagonal prismatic ZnO nanorods were synthesized through vapor deposition growth and a self-catalyzed vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) process.

In this paper, ZnO nanorods were grown by wet chemical method on p-Si (100) substrate to form n-ZnO nanorods/p-Si (100) heterojunction. The optical, electrical, structural properties of n-ZnO nanorods/p-Si(100) heterojunction were analyzed by the photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The room temperature PL spectra reveal the good optical property of the heterojunction with strong UV peak at 385[Formula: see text]nm. The ZnO nanorods were vertically well-aligned on p-Si (100) and had an average height of about 1.6[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m. The n-ZnO nanorods/p-Si (100) heterojunction also exhibits diode-like-rectifying-behavior.

Cr-doped rod-like ZnO particles with nominal 3 at% doping concentration were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The structural and optical properties of the sample were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and photoluminescence (PL). The results show that the as-synthesized product is of hexagonal wurtzite structure without metallic Cr or other secondary phases and the morphology of the ZnO particles is rod shaped. The room-temperature PL spectrum of the Cr-doped rod-like ZnO particles exhibits a strong blue emission at 440nm and two weak emission bands centered at 410nm and 565nm, respectively.

The effect of various substrates on the morphology of ZnO nanorods synthesized by a low temperature solution method has been investigated. ZnO seed layers on the substrates were prepared by radio-frequency sputtering. ZnO nanorods have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM. FESEM results showed that hexagon-shaped ZnO nanorods with a diameter in the range of 30 nm to 80 nm and a length of about 1 μm were formed. The sharp (0002) peak in the XRD spectra indicates that the synthesized nanorods are single crystalline, grown along the [0001] direction. These findings have shown that the morphology of ZnO nanorods strongly depend on the substrate.

Ferromagnetic Hysteresis

Anatase Ti 1-x Co x O 2 nanoparticles were prepared by a hydrothermal process at 180 °C. Ferromagnetic hysteresis loops of the as-prepared samples were measured at room temperature. The Ti 1-x Co x O 2 ( x = 0.0376) powder shows coercivity up to 700 Oe, which is the highest value reported for anatase Ti 1-x Co x O 2. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and magnetic measurement results provided evidence that Co was incorporated into TiO 2 lattice. Combined with the fact that the preparation was carried out in an oxidized environment starting from cobalt (II) in the oxidized state, it is suggested that the homogeneous doping of Co into the lattice of anatase should be responsible for the improvement of coercivity in anatase Ti 1-x Co x O 2 nanoparticles.

The growth of uniformly distributed and densely packed array of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods (NRs) and nanorods (NRs)/nanopolypods (NPPs) was successfully achieved through microwave-assisted chemical route at low temperature. The ZnO NRs and NRs/NPPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The ZnO NRs were of 100–150 nm diameter and 0.5–1 μm length, while the NPPs were of diameter about 150–200 nm and 1.5–2 μm pod length. The prepared films are polycrystalline in nature and highly oriented along (002) plane with a hexagonal wurtzite structure. These films were studied for the sensing properties of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), oxygen, and hazardous explosives, that is, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and cyclotrimethylenetrinitramines (RDX), in the temperature ranges of 25–425 °C and 100–200 °C, respectively. The grown nanostructure films showed reliable stable response to several on-off cycles, and reduction in sensor recovery time was found with the increase in temperature. ZnO NRs and NRs/NPPs showed better sensitivity and recovery time for both LPG and oxygen, as compared to the literature-reported results for ZnO thin films.

We presented the effect of annealing temperature on nanocrystallite growth toward zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods based on the hydrothermal process. The hydrothermal growths of the ZnO nanorods were prepared with zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine solution at 90°C for 6 hours. The structural, morphological, optical, and anti-bacterial properties of the ZnO nanorods, prepared at different annealing temperatures, were characterized by grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The GIXRD patterns of the ZnO nanorods corresponded to the wurtzite structure. The FE-SEM results showed that the prepared ZnO nanorods were in the form of the hexagonal shape. The anti-bacterial behaviors of suspension of ZnO nanorods against Escherichia coli (gram-negative) would be discussed in this paper.
