The formation of nanorods by the reaction of metals with water is suggested to occur due to the decomposition of water. The decomposed water produces controlled supply of OH-which further reacts with metal to form ZnO and releases hydrogen. The synthesized ZnO products were characterized in terms of their structural and optical properties. It was observed that the grown nanorods possess good optical property. Compared with other methods, the present method is simple, soft, inexpensive and environmentally benign which will make it suitable for large-scale production for devices and other applications.  ISSN : 1913-1844  Journal Name : Modern Applied Science  Volume : 5  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1432 AH 2011 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, February 11, 2012  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email ليلى محمد الحربي Al-Harbi, Liala Mohammad Researcher Doctorate lmajeed2002@yahoo.com السيد حسيني المسلمي El-Mossalamy, El-sayed H Researcher Doctorate sbdmina@yahoo.com H M Arafa Arafa, H M Researcher Doctorate han.m.a.2008@hotmail.com Ahmad A Al-Owais Al-Owais, Ahmad A Researcher Doctorate aowais21@yahoo.com محمد أشرف شاه Shah, Mohammad Ashraf Researcher Doctorate shahkau@hotmail.com Files File Name Type Description  32233.pdf pdf Abstract Back To Researches Page
