Abstract :

In this research, by presenting a super-fast and optimal method for the growth of zinc oxide nanowires, in addition to raising the growth rate compared to other existing methods, the biocompatibility of nanowires has increased dramatically. The method presented here is based on hydrothermal; that we used UV radiation with a wavelength of 365 nm during growth to increase the growth rate of nanowires and obtain crystalline structures with fewer defects.
