Zinc oxide, due to its unique physicochemical properties, including dual piezoelectric and semiconductive ones, demonstrates a high application potential in various fields, with particular focus on nanotechnology. Among ZnO nanoforms, nanorods are gaining interest. Due their ability efficiently transport charge carriers photoelectric they demonstrate significant energy storage conversion, as well photovoltaics. They can be prepared via methods; however, most of them require large inputs, long reaction times, or high-cost equipment. Hence, new methods nanorod fabrication currently being sought out. In this paper, an ultrasound-supported synthesis zinc acetate precursor has been described. The included the treatment solution ultrasounds, wherein sonication times were employed verify impact process effectiveness sizes obtained nanostructures. morphology was imaged scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, while particle size distribution within suspensions determined by means dynamic light scattering (DLS). Additionally, viscosity also verified. It demonstrated that ultrasounds positively affect synthesis, yielding longer nanostructures through even reactant distribution. Longer result short (1–3 min), prolonged (4–5 min) resulted obtaining shorter nanorods. Importantly, increased homogeneity suspension disintegrating agglomerates. Moreover, it ultrasonic reduces suspension, facilitating faster diffusion promoting more uniform growth concluded constitute promising homogeneous nanorods, which is line principles green chemistry.
