ABSTRACT In this work, we report on the synthesis of Zinc Oxide (ZnO), by a cost effective and low temperature aqueous chemical method on conducting glass substrates. The grown nanostructures have been characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical absorption techniques and Raman spectroscopy. Resistivity of the films was studied with I-V data for the ZnO samples. SEM images show the formation of flower, bud, star,...
