Abstract

Hydrothermal growth of hexagonal ZnO nanorods on the annealed titanate nanotube films is reported as a function of molar ratio of Zn(NO 3 ) 2 and methenamine (1:1-1:4). The molar ratio of 1:4 results in a dense and thinner rod in comparison with other molar ratios. Corn-like structures of the rods are believed to be due to the higher amine concentration. Raman peaks at 437 and 331 cm -1 are assigned to E 2 and E 2H -E 2L modes. Near band gap edge and green photoluminescence emission indicates the structural and oxygen vacancy. O 1s peak is found built-up of sub-peaks at 530.62, 531.8 and 532.84 eV corresponding to O 2- on normal wurtzite structure and OH and oxygen vacancies of ZnO, respectively.
