In this study, we reported a method for growing macroporous ZnO on a large scale via a facile solution-based method using citrate as crystal growth modifier. The microstructures were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR, UV–visible spectrometer and N2-physisorption techniques. Influencing factors on the morphology of ZnO were discussed, including anion species of Zn2+precursor, adding sequence of sodium citrate, sodium citrate concentration and reaction time. On the basis of the investigation on the growth process, citrate ion–ZnO interaction was vital to the formation of complex structure, which was accompanied by acetate ion induction to form the high-quality macroporous spheres. UV–Vis results exhibited a blue-shift when compared with conventional-sized zinc oxide. The large specific surface area of porous ZnO resulted in enhanced absorption of Rhodamine B and improved photocatalytic activity.
