Growth and characterization of ZnO cross-like structures by hydrothermal method

Abstract

ZnO cross-like structures has been synthesized by a cetyltrimethylammonioum hydroxide (CTAOH)- assisted hydrothermal method at low temperature (60°C) as a function of the CTAOH concentration. The structure and morphology of the structures ZnO cross-like were studied by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
