        In this study, Zinc oxide nanostructures were synthesized via a hydrothermal method by using zinc nitrate hexahydrate and sodium hydroxide as a precursor. Three different annealing temperatures were used to study their effect on ZnO NSs properties. The synthesized nanostructure was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Atomic force microscope (AFM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Their optical properties were studied by using UV -visible spectroscopy. The XRD analysis confirms that all ZnO nanostructures have the hexagonal wurtzite structure with average crystallite size within the range of (30.59 - 34.52) nm. The crystallite size increased due to the incensement of annealing temperature. FESEM analysis indicates that ZnO has hexagonal shape of cylindrical pores, plate-like nanocrystals and Nanorods. AFM analysis shows that the average surface roughness of ZnO Nanostructures increases from 3.96 to 19.1 nm with the increase of annealing temperature. The FTIR peaks indicate successful preparation of ZnO Nanostructures. The FTIR method was used to analyses the chemical bonds which conformed the present of the Zn-O group in the region between (400-500) cm-1. The UV-visible showed a red shift in the absorption spectra related to the shift in the energy gap related to increase in the particle size.  the band gap energy has been calculated from the optical absorption spectra. The annealing process has been fond more effective on the value of energy gap. As the annealing temperature increases, the value of energy gap, increases as well; from (3.12to 3.22) eV. The prepared Nanostructure is used for antibacterial property. It shows strong antibacterial activity against S. aureus and P.aeuruginosa bacteria by the agar disc diffusion method. The white precipitate of ZnO NSs has superior antibacterial activity on gram-positive (S. aureus) than the gram-negative (P.aeuruginosa) bacteria.

We report on antibacterial activities of Zinc oxide (ZnO) with different structures. Fast furrier transform infrared spectroscopy ZnO nanostructures showed peaks in the range between 450–600 cm-1 indicating the successful growth through the presence of Zn-O stretching. On the other hand, impurities such as zinc complexes might be present due to the appearance of peaks at 1110 cm-1, 1390 cm-1 and 1506 cm-1. Furthermore, SEM images revealed that nanorods and sea-urchin like nanostructures are present in the produced ZnO nanostructures. Nanorods exhibit a better antibacterial response than the sea-urchin like structure. The change in structural morphology along with its purity has greatly influenced the area of bacterial inhibition zone during antibacterial testing.

Oxide Nanostructures

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures prepared by immersion method were successfully grown on gold-seeded silicon substrate using Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn (NO3)2.6H2O) as a precursor, separately stabilized with non-toxic urea (CH4N2O) and hexamethylene tetraamine (HMTA). The effect of changing the stabilizer of ZnO solution on the crystal structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties of the resultant ZnO is investigated. X-ray diffraction of the synthesized ZnO shows hexagonal zincite structure. The morphology of the ZnO was characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The growth of ZnO using urea as stabilizer shows clusters of ZnO nanoflower with serrated broad petals were interestingly formed. ZnO in HMTA showed growth of nanorods. The structures has high surface area, is a potential metal oxide nanostructures to be develop for optoelectronic devices and chemical sensors. The formation of ZnO nanostructures is found to be significantly affected by the stabilizer.

Zinc oxide nanostructures were synthesized by an electrochemical dissolution and deposition process. The zinc plates were immerged in deionized water and used as two electrodes. The process was operated by applying the electric field of 10, 12.5, 25 and 50 V/cm, the constant voltage of 10 V and varied the temperatures from room temperature to 70 °C during 1 h. It was found that the electric field and temperature of electrolyte solution had affected to morphologies of ZnO NSs and were grown in forms of nanoflakes, nanoparticles and nanorods.

AbstractZinc oxide is known to produce a wide variety of nanostructures that show promise for a number of applications. The use of electrochemical deposition techniques for growing ZnO nanostructures can allow tight control of the morphology of ZnO through the wide range of deposition parameters available. Here we model the growth of the rods under typical electrochemical conditions, using the Nernst–Planck equations in two dimensions to predict the growth rate and morphology of the nanostructures as a function of time. Generally good quantitative and qualitative agreement is found between the model predictions and recent experimental results.
