Synthesis and Evaluation of Hollow-Tubular ZnO by Wet Chemical Method

Abstract

In this study, morphology control of ZnO was performed by a wet chemical processing without templates at room temperature. In special, the effect of aging time and pH of this wet processing on ZnO morphologies was in detail investigated. As a result, products composed of a single phase of ZnO with a unique morphology like a hollow tube were obtained. Then, it was found that an aging process played an important role on controlling morphology of ZnO during this wet chemical process. Furthermore, it was found that this hollow-tubular ZnO had a high transparency.
