Abstract

Zinc oxide nano-and submicrostructures have been synthesized controllably by polymeric precursor method (Pechini). In this approach, zinc acetate Zn(CH3COO-)2·2H2O, citric acid and ethylene glycol were used as the source of Zn2+, the chelating agent and the connecting agent, respectively. The microstructure of the ZnO nanoand submicrostructures was characterized by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy and the optical property was investigated by the room temperature photoluminescence spectra. The effect of ethylene glycol to citric acid mole ratio on the morphology and structure of the products was discussed.
