Zinc Oxide Nanostructures – Current Status

Abstract

Development of ZnO nanostructures is of great importance for industrial applications. We analyze synthesis and properties control of zinc oxide, which are important in understanding the growth mechanism and further developing ZnObased nanodevices. Also, we briefly review research activities and progress in developing improved control of technological processes for ZnO as nanomaterial. Recent reported applications of ZnO low-dimensional structures will be discussed.
