Abstract

Different shapes of ZnO microcrystals have been achieved controllably by a capping-molecule-assisted hydrothermal process. The flowerlike, disklike, and dumbbell-like ZnO microcrystals of hexagonal phase have been obtained respectively using ammonia, citric acid (CA), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as the capping molecules. Only a very strong UV emission at ∼380 nm is observed in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the three kinds of ZnO microcrystals, indicative of their high crystal quality. The formation mechanisms for the hydrothermally synthesized microcrystals in different morphologies have been phenomenologically presented.
