摘要
Flower-like ZnO nanostructures have been successfully synthesized by the simple chemical precipitation method at room temperature in distilled water medium and without using any capping agent. The nanostructure of the sample has been analyzed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern confirmed that the sample is of hexagonal phase of ZnO. The UV-visible optical absorption measurement shows the presence of UV absorption at similar to 260 nm in the sample dispersed in water. The room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the sample consists of near-band edge emission at similar to 360 nm as well as a violet emission band due to the presence of defect states in the sample. Also a reasonable growth mechanism is proposed for formation of flower-like ZnO nano-structures. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
