Controlled Synthesis of One Dimensional Zinc Oxide Nanostructures in terms of Modelling

In the present work, a mathematical model is proposed for the control on the concentration of hydroxyl ion in the precursor solution to preserve low super saturation level, because in order to obtain the desired and high quality one dimensional Zinc oxide nanostructures it is important to control the super saturation of the reactants. It was observed that elevated super saturation amount support nucleation and moderate super saturation amount support crystal growth during the synthesis of one dimensional Zinc oxide nanostructures. The kinematic reactions in the precursor solution were observed with the help of Lengyel-Epistein theory. Experimentally, the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures was also performed through Aqueous chemical growth method.
