Abstract

By using Zn4CO3(OH)6·H2O as the precursor, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as the surfactant, ZnO nanorods with several nanometer diameters were synthesized. The product was characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Its room-temperature photoluminescence properties were also studied. The results show that the as-prepared products have high crystallinity
and grow along the 001 direction, combining with good near UV emission properties. The mechanism for the ZnO nanorod growth was also discussed.
