Abstract

Concern paper will report and discuss about a simple chemical synthesis method of liquid phase in co-precipitation growth method to produce a high quality zinc oxide nanorod where Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O) and Hexamethylene Tetramine (C6H12N4), Nitric acid (HNO3) are used as precursor. Zinc Oxide has a wide range of direct band gap energy of 3.3eV and high exciting binding energy 60meV. ZnO also has a high density of 5.606 grams/cm3. That's why Zinc Oxide nanorod using wide range of potential applications in various fields like medical applications, sensors, spintronic and piezoelectricity. Zinc oxide nanorod was synthesized by one dimensional. Developed zinc oxide nanorod have been investigated with high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy(EDX) and the obtained results revealed that the prepared zinc Oxide nano rods used in particularly electronics applications like sensors [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
