Abstract :
Zinc Oxide nanocrystals were fabricated in chemical bath deposition process by low temperature 95degC, on glass substrates covered with thin film of ITO. Experiments were repeated for different time of crystal growth. The results were investigated with scanning electron microscope and they show the way of nanostructures growth. Experiment exhibits the speed of nanoflowers growth and explains what cause the nanorods and what the nanoflower growth. It explains the direction of growth and shape of the end product. In this paper were discussed the time of heating as a parameter with strong influence on the quality of crystal growth. Knowledge about influence of those parameters on the ZnO let us control the nanostructures growth.
