Abstract
Zinc and zinc oxide nanostructures were electrochemically synthesized utilizing a 30.0 V power supply, aluminum strip electrodes, and ethanolamine as catalyst. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectroscopy were used to characterize the obtained ZnO nanostructures. FTIR and XRF verified and confirmed the presence and the growth of the nanostructures on the surface of the substrate in relation to varying concentration. Furthermore, results from SEM confirmed the growth of the cabbage-like structures on the aluminum substrate.
