title = "Morphology dependent photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanostructures",
abstract = "ZnO nanostructures of different morphology (Rods, spindles, stars, buds) were successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. The prepared ZnO nanostructures were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results show the prepared nanostructures were in the hexagonal wurtzite structure. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under UV-irradiation was investigated with different ZnO nanostructures. The photocatalytic experiments reveal that spindle like nanostructures showed fast photocatalytic activity compared to the other rods, stars and buds like nanostructures.",
