One-dimensional structured ZnO nanoparticle aggregate was obtained by simple thermal annealing of the above-mentioned layered ZnO acetate nanobelts at 300 C. The morphology microstructure and composition of the synthesized ZnO and its precursors were characterized by transmission electron microscopy TEM X-ray diffraction XRD and infrared spectroscopy respectively. Low angle X-ray diffraction spectra reveal that as-synthesized zinc acetate has a layered structure with two interlayer d-spacings one is nm and the other is nm . SEM and TEM indicate that nanobelt precursors were 100-200 nm in width and possesses length up to 30 m. Calcination of precursor in air results in the formation of one-dimensional structured ZnO nanoparticle aggregates. In addition the as-prepared ZnO nanoparticle aggregates exhibit high pho-tocatalytic activity for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange MO .
