ZnO/SnO2 nanoflower based ZnO template synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition

Abstract

The ZnO/SnO2 nanoflower like structures was grown on a glass substrate deposited with seed layer using thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with combining two source materials. The ZnO/SnO2 nanoflower like structures had diameter in the range 70 to 100nm. The atomic percentage of ZnO nanoparticle , SnO2 nanorods and ZnO/SnO2 nanoflower was taken using EDS. Based on the FESEM observations, the growth mechanism is applied to describe the growth for the synthesized nanostructures.
