ZnO nanostructured thin films formation in situ on the surface of bamboo via a low temperature aqueous solution route is studied. The effects of immersion time in seed solution, growth solution concentration, growth time, and pH of seed solution on ZnO morphology are also discussed. Field emission scanning electron microscopy is used to examine the surface morphology of the samples and X-ray powder diffraction is used to detect crystal structure and crystallinity. Results reveal that: prolonging the immersion time, the morphology of the films transforms from grain-net-line-cylinder-to-hexahedr...
