Abstract:ZnO nanorods with different morphologies were fabricated through a simple reaction method. They were characterized by means of powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. FE-SEM images showed that the shapes of the ZnO nanorods including straight nanorods, spear-like nanorods with sawtooth-shaped surfaces and lotus root-like nanorods. XRD and EDX indicated that all the nanorods are composed of hexagonal ZnO.
