Characterizations of the products by TEM, SEM, XRD, SAED and EDS showed that the ZnO nanowires were of high purity and single-crystalline with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The diameter of ZnO nanowires ranges from 60 to 200 nm and the length is longer than 10 μm. The size of the ZnO micro-nano spheres ranges from hundreds of nanometers to tens of microns. At the same time, the growth mechanism of ZnO micro-nano spheres is discussed.展开更多
