The Potential of Leaves Extract in Fabrication of Dense and Uniform ZnO Microrods.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) micro and nanorods were successfully prepared using and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) separately as stabilizers using the solution immersion method. Two types of ZnO seed layer were prepared using the same pre-cursor with the different stabilizers. The fabricated ZnO microrods exhibit absorption at ~375 nm as revealed from the UV-Visible absorption spectrum, and this is comparable with ZnO nanorods synthesized using HMTA.
