| Abstract: |
| In this study, the ZnO thin film was synthesized by means of anodic oxidation method. A basic solution containing NaOH and NH4Cl as additive was used for the process. Effect of time and voltage on the microstructure of the obtained thin film has been studied. Characterization has been performed using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Nanostructured thin film has been obtained with different morphologies according to different process parameters. FESEM analysis indicated that as the process time increases, the morphology of the film changes from grooved surface into flaky porous structure. It was also evident that hexagonal shaped simonkolleite formed during the process which was then transformed into zinc oxide and zinc chloride by heat treating. |
