Recrystallization techniques for the synthesis of ZnO nanorods: an in situ process for carbon doping and enhancing the dispersion concentration of ZnO nanorods.

ABSTRACT: Zinc acetate is recrystallized as lumber-shaped tetragonal rods by a novel recrystallization technique. Subsequently, the recrystallized zinc acetate is converted into ZnO nanorods in a glass vial by the simplest and cheapest method without utilizing any expensive instrumentation. Carbon is doped in ZnO nanorods during the preparation ZnO nanorods without any extra steps, chemicals, or effort. The carbon-doped ZnO nanorods can be dispersed in a solvent at very high concentrations and are also stable for a very long time, which are comparatively higher than those of the other existing ZnO nanoparticles. The higher dispersion concentration and higher stability of ZnO nanoparticles are explained by a scheme that demonstrates the suspending mechanism of the ZnO nanoparticles at higher concentr
