In this work, ZnO nanoporous thin films were formed by anodizing of Zn plates in 500 ml distilled water of 25°C at voltage ranged from 10 V to 30 V. As anodized zinc plates were characterized by using SEM and XRD. Characterization of as anodized Zn plates using SEM showed that the morphology of the as anodized Zn plates were significantly influenced by the anodizing voltages. Nanoporous ZnO thin films were formed when 25 V and 30 V were used while ZnO thin films without nanoporous structures were formed when 10 V, 15 V and 20 V were used. XRD analysis indicated the ZnO thin films formed at 10 V to 30 V were of hexagonal wurtzite structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
