The product obtained by the hydrothermal method has the advantages of easier control of the particle size and better uniformity, and is widely applied to the preparation of various nano materials.
The preparation method comprises the following steps of firstly preparing a zinc oxide seed layer on a glass substrate by using a spin coating method, and then growing a zinc oxide nanorod array under different conditions by using a hydrothermal reaction; the patent [ CN 201210056193.3] takes casein as a template agent, takes zinc salt and ammonia water as raw materials, and obtains the micron-sphere zinc oxide by a hydrothermal method; guo Tengchao et al (Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2019, 804, 503-. The method needs substrate growth or additive, and has the defects of high reaction requirement, complex equipment and the like, but the method can control the zinc oxide with rich appearance by controlling the concentration of the homogeneous solution under the same equipment and reaction condition, is simple and feasible, and the obtained zinc oxide has rich appearance, thereby being more beneficial to large-scale production and application.
