Abstract: Herein, various assembled nanostructures of ZnO nanorods were prepared by microwave synthesis from zinc acetate precursor in presence of Zn-Al hydrotalcite seeds and characterized by SEM and XRD. It was found that the flower-like nanostructures of ZnO nanorods were prepared at a relative low seed usage, in which ZnO nanorods had a length of several hundred nanometer to two micrometer and a diameter of 100-300 nanometer. Whereas, the hierarchical nanostructures of large Zn-Al hydrotalcite plates with “two-side” attached ZnO nanorods or nanotubules were easily obtained as adding a large amount of seed solution.

Key words: ZnO nanorods, microwave synthesis, nanostructures, seed growth method
