ZnO nano rods were prepared using chemical bath deposition technique. ZnO seed layer thin films were deposited on glass substrates by dip coating method . Subsequently, ZnO seed-coated glass substrates were immersed in aqueous solution of zinc nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) at three different growth time of 3, 4 and 5 hours at low temperature of 90°C. 0.02 mol of Zinc nitrate and 0.2 mol of Hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) on 1:10 molar concentration were used for the growth of Zinc oxide nano rods. The structure and surface morphology of the ZnO nano rod were studied using X-ray diffraction Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively.
