The crystal phase and morphology of the products were characterized by XRD (X-ray powder diffractometer) and TEM (transmission electron microscope) Rod-like ZnO belongs to the hexagonal Wurtzite system, with diameters and lengths of about 20-200 nm and 0.2-1.5μm, respectively. Experimental results showed that the morphology of nano-ZnO can be controlled by modulating the quantities of EDA added into the reaction system and that EDA plays ar important role in the formation of rod-like ZnO particles.
