In this work, 99% purity zinc plates were anodized at potentiostatic conditions in distilled water at 25°C. The anodizing voltages were varied from 10 V to 30 V. The morphologies of the ZnO thin film were investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the compositions were confirmed through the characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The current versus time transients during the anodizing were recorded. SEM images show that thread-like nanostructures were present on the surface of Zn plates anodized at 25 V and 30 V. XRD patterns revealed that ZnO were present on all Zn plates anodized at anodizing voltages ranged from 10 V to 30 V. Current recorded during the anodizing process increased with the anodizing voltages due to the formation of thread-like nanostructures with lower electrical resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
