Single phase SrZnO2 nanorods with average size of around 100 nm are synthesized by probe sonicator using ultrasonic waves at 60 W, 6 kHz for 3 h to observe the changes in optoelectronic properties of ZnO. The as grown SrZnO2 has a single phase rod shaped structure. These nanorods were broadly characterized by different instrumental techniques like TEM, FESEM, EDAX, XRD, UV–Visible and FTIR for analysis of size, crystal structure, morphology and composition which acknowledge the formation of single phase crystalline ZnO and slightly amorphous SrZnO2 nanorods. All these results suggest that single phase SrZnO2 nano-composites can easily be synthesized by one step sono-chemical method.
