Flower-like ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized by starch-assisted sonochemical method and the effect of starch and ultrasound on the formation of ZnO nanostructure has been investigated. It is observed that starch and ultrasonic wave both plays a vital role on the growth of ZnO nanostructure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicated that the synthesized flower-like ZnO nanostructures were hexagonal. FTIR spectrum confirms the presence of starch on the surface of flower-like ZnO nanostructure. The photoluminescence spectrum of flower-like ZnO nanostructure consists of band-edge emission at 393nm as well as emission peaks due to defects. On the basis of structural information provided by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and morphological information by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), a growth mechanism is proposed for formation of flower-like ZnO nanostructures. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) of starch in liquid medium confirms that gelatinization is a two step process involving two phases.
