“…So far, different approaches have been utilized to synthesize ZnO nanomaterials with diverse morphology such as spherical/polygonal nanoparticles, nanocubes, nanorods, nanowires, nanoneedles and nanofibers. The most practical and reproducible techniques applied in recent years include co-precipitation [28,29], surfactant assisted wet chemical synthesis [30,31], hydrothermal method [32,33], plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) [34], metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) [35], microwave [36], sonochemical method [37], sputtering [38], microemulsion [39], solvothermal [40], and sol-gel [41,42].…”
