The spherical and flower-like ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal reaction of Zn (NO₃)₂·6H₂O with NH₃·H₂O by varying the volume ratio of ethylene glycol and water at 140 ℃ for 2 h, respectively. The products were characterized by SEM, XRD, UV-Vis DRS and PL, the results showed that the products were single crystalline with the wurtzite structure. The diameter of spherical ZnO nanostructure assembled nanoparticles is ranged from 500 nm~1 μm. The flower-like ZnO nanostructures are assembled from one-dimensional nanorods with the diameter is ranged from 100~300 nm and length is ranged from 300~700 nm. The influence of ethylene glycol on the morphology development was investigated. Possible growth mechanisms of the spherical and flower-like ZnO nanostructures were proposed. Photocatalytic activities of the spherical and flower-like ZnO nanostructures in the degradation of methyl orange were investigated. The degradation rate of the spherical and flower-like ZnO nanostructures under 2 h UV irradiation were 83% and 55%, respectively. The study on photocatalytic mechanism confirmed that h⁺ and ·OH were the main reactive species during the photocatalytic process.
