Flower-like ZnO nano/microstructures have been synthesized by thermal treatment of Zn(NH3)42+precursor in aqueous solvent, using ammonia as the structure directing agent. A number of techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scan electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermal analysis, and photoluminescence (PL) were used to characterize the obtained ZnO structures. The photoluminescence (PL) measurements indicated that the as-synthesized ZnO structures showed UV (∼375nm), blue (∼465nm), and yellow (∼585nm) emission bands when they were excited by a He–Gd laser using 320nm as the excitation source. Furthermore, it has been interestingly found that the intensity of light emission at ∼585nm remarkably decreased when the obtained ZnO nanocrystals were annealed at 600°C for 3h in air. The reason might be the possible oxygen vacancies and interstitials in the sample decreased at high temperature.
