ABSTRACT: Vertically oriented ZnO nanorods have been synthesized by hydrothermal method on quartz substrates with a seed layer. The influence of solution concentration on the morphology, structural and optical properties was analyzed. Results indicated that with the increase of solution concentration, the diameter and uniformity of ZnO nanorods increased. And the preferred orientation is obviously which shows better crystal quality. Typically, when the solution concentration is 0.03 mol/L, the nanorods exhibit a stronger UV emission peak located around 380 nm. In the visible region, all synthesized samples demonstrate more than 80% of optical transparency.
