Structural, Morphological And Optical Properties Of Zno Nanorods Prepared By Dip Coating Method

In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) nano rods were prepared by dip coating method. By using X-ray diffractometer (XRD) the crystal structure of ZnO nano rod arrays were investigated and it confirmed that ZnO thin films are of hexagonal wurtzite structure. The grain sizes were decreased with increasing pH value. The surface morphologies were observed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the optical studies confirmed that the prepared films are found to have a maximum transmittance and also the band gap decreases with increasing pH value. The prepared ZnO nano rods have wide range of applications in Photo catalytic degradation of textile coloring dyes.
