Reverse Micelle-assisted Route to Control Diameters of ZnO Nanorods by Selecting Different Precursors

Abstract

Abstract A reverse micelle-assisted route was reported to prepare ZnO nanorods from two different precursors, Zn(NH3)42+ and Zn(OH)42−, respectively. The reverse micelles were used as microreactors, which lead into anisotropic growth of ZnO crystals during a simple solvothermal process.
