Description
Summary:<p>Abstract</p> <p>ZnO nanorods and nanodisks were synthesized by solution process using zinc chloride as starting material. The morphology of ZnO crystal changed greatly depending on the concentrations of Zn<sup>2+</sup>ion and ethylene glycohol (EG) additive in the solution. The effect of thermal treatment on the morphology was investigated. Photocatalytic activities of plate-like Zn<sub>5</sub>(OH)<sub>8</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> &#183; H<sub>2</sub>O and rod-like ZnO were characterized. About 18% of 1 ppm NO could be continuously removed by ZnO particles under UV light irradiation.</p>
