This study reports on synthesis of ZnO nanostructures using Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) as precursors and Potassium hydroxide (KOH) as alkaline source in a solvothermal process with varying molar concentrations (Zn2+/OH-) of 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 for temperatures of 30 °C and 50 °C. The synthesized nanostructu...
