Abstract

Surface morphology and optical properties of grown zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) were investigated. ZnO nanorods have been fabricated via hydrothermal process. Zinc acetate solutions at different concentrations (10mM and 50mM) were used. Scanning electron microscopy was done for investigation of surface morphology. Optical spectroscopy such as reflectivity, and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer was also done to study its optical properties. Results indicated that ZnO nanorods grown on higher concentration produces larger nanorods that exhibits very distinct depletion in reflectance.
