In present study ZnO nanorods were synthesized in an aqueous solution using a domestic microwave oven for irradiation. The nanorods have been grown on substrates immersed in an aqueous solution which contains zinc nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine as precursors. Eventually, effect of some parameters such as precursor's concentration and heating time on growth mechanism was characterized. The product phase was detected using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) exhibited the resultant structure is uniform and single crystalline. Finally Uv-Vis spectroscopy was used to measure the nanorod's band gap.
