Investigation of the growth parameters of hydrothermal ZnO nanowires for scale up applications

Zinc oxide nano-wires (ZnO NWs) are synthesized reproducibly with high yield via a low temperature hydrothermal technique. The influence of the growth duration time, growth temperature, zinc precursor and base concentration of Na2CO3 on the morphology of NWs is investigated. The growth products are...
