• evolution are given by with the solutions (Figure 6) The absolute concentration of the material absorbed by nucleation seeds is [S] = [A1]0 + [A2]0 − [B] − [A1] − [A2] and, therefore, the particle growth rate is given by v(t) = d[S]/dt. Further, the ratio x = A1/A2 of material absorbed at time t with the

• to maintain the growth rate [20]. The substrate was then removed and washed several times with deionised water and then annealed at 250 °C for 1 h to remove any unreacted organic deposits. Microwave synthesis of ZnO nanorods on seeded substrates was carried out in a commercial microwave oven operated
