Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a metal oxide material that is interested in research due to its possibility of bandgap tailoring, doping with various types of materials as well as being able to form many structures from zero-dimensional to three-dimensional structures. All these properties allow ZnO to be used in broad applications. Several research studies have been reported on the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures by the physical vapour deposition (PVD) technique. One of the potential PVD technique is thermal evaporation process. Generally, the technique is used to grow thin-film but researchers have found a potential to be used in the growth of nanostructures due to the ability to provide high crystallinity with homogeneous and uniform nanostructures. This analysis will therefore explore more about the thermal evaporation synthesized ZnO nanostructures and the application as photocatalyst material in wastewater treatment.
