Abstract
The well aligned ZnO nanorods were grown on glass substrate by using
hydrothermal method. The seed layer was formed by using zinc acetate, ethanol and
deionised water using dip coating technique. The ZnO nanorods were grown over the
seed layered ZnO thin film using Zinc nitrate, Hexamethylenetetramine and deionised
water. The prepared ZnO nanorods were characterized by XRD, SEM, and UV –
Visible spectroscopy. The prepared ZnO nano rods have wide range of applications in
Photo catalytic degradation of textile colouring dyes.
