Nanowires are structures that have a lateral size constraint to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained longitudinal size. The syntheses and characterization of ZnO nanowire with hexagonal structure was successfully achieved using chemical bath deposition technique. The nanowires obtained were further characterized by scan electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and spectrophotometer. The SEM micrographs revealed the morphology of ZnO nanowires with diameter 170.3 nm and 481 nm. This revealed that the pH 8.1 of the bath solution and the optimized value form ZnO nanowires with hexagonal shape at top surface. The XRD pattern of the samples revealed ZnO nanowire have hexagonal crystallite structure. Where upon the crystallite size supported increased annealing temperature (0.536 nm, 0.541 nm and ..
