Room temperature growth of ZnO with highly active exposed facets for photocatalytic application

In this article, the flower-like, urchin-like, and rod-like ZnOs were synthesized by a convenient atmospheric hydrothermal method. The crystalline structures, morphologies, exposed crystal faces, and specific surface areas of the as-prepared ZnO samples were analyzed. Rhodamine B (RhB) was used as t...
