Different morphologies of zinc oxide (ZnO) can be obtained through various synthesizing methods, such as that of the water bath. By synthesizing under various conditions, different ZnO morphologies can be seen as the result of the water bath method. Replacing ZnO nanoparticles with vertically aligned ZnO nanorods results in a much higher energy conversion efficiency. Yet vertically aligned nanorods can only be grown through difficult and expensive methods. Several researchers have studied the growth of one-dimensional (1D) nanorods on homogeneous film with various growth conditions. However, there has been little in the way of research on ZnO nanorods grown on ZnO seed layers using the water bath method. In this research, vertically aligned nanorods with an optimum size ratio were formed through a simple water bath method. This method reveals that the ZnO nanorods are well aligned and grown with a high density and uniformity on the substrate. Their X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that the nanorods are grow in the [001] direction. The density, diameter, and length of the ZnO nanorods can be altered by changing the growing condition. All of the samples were characterized using a scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and micro Raman spectroscopy. To investigate crystal growth, zinc nitrate and zinc acetate were used when preparing the solution. The results demonstrate that the morphology and alignment of ZnO nanorods are determined by the precursor’s type and deposition time.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been investigated in depth, due to their potential as a semiconductor material in dye sensitized solar cell applications. In this current research, ZnO nanostructure was synthesized using a simple precipitation technique with the addition of citric acid (C6H8O7)as the capping agent. Various ratios of ZnO and citric acid were prepared, i.e. 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and calcination temperatures of 150 and 400°C were used to investigate the effect of those parameters on the ZnO nanostructure and its crystallinity. The nanostructure characteristics, i.e. nanocrystallite size, crystallinity, and optical properties were determined by using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultra-violet visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, respectively. The investigation results showed that ZnO nanostructure was formed as spherical shapes and rods in the range of 19.8–30.8 nm with the lowest band gap energy (Eg) of 3.15 eV obtained under conditions of a 4:1 ratio and calcined at 400°C. Considering nanostructural characteristics, the ZnO nanostructures in this study would be suitable for application as a semiconductor oxide layer in a dye sensitized solar cell.

ABSTRACT
TiO2 nanostructure as semiconductor has distinguished properties that makes this material attractive to be studied and developed up until now. In this study, synthesize of TiO2 nanostructure was carried out by precipitation technique, using TiOSO4.xH2O as precursor and combination of P123 and CTAB surfactant as template. Variables investigated were solvent for preparing precursor solution (distilled water and ethanol), hydrothermal treatment, and calcination temperature (200 and 400 oC), which were aimed to investigate their effects of phase cristallinity and crystallite size of TiO2 nanostructure. Characterizations were performed by using XRD, TEM, and FTIR. The results showed that the best parameters in synthesizing TiO2 nanostructure are by using distilled water as solvent for preparing precursor solution, hydrothermal treatment for the synthesize method, and calcination temperature of 400 oC which successfully obtained nanostructure TiO2 with anatase phase and its crystallite size reached 8,02 nm. The obtained TiO2 nanostructure promises to be used in dye sensitized solar cell and photocatalytic applications.
