ZnO nanoflowers was synthesized by facile hydrothermal route .The structural, morphological and opticalproperties of ZnO nanoflowers were investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM),Raman Spectroscopy, Photoluminescence (PL) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD pattern of thesample confirmed the hexagonal phase of ZnO nanoflower. SEM images clearly exaggerated the nanoflower morphologyconsists of functionalized nanosheets. The Raman spectra located at 435 and 479 cm-1correspond to E2H and interfacialsurface phonon modes of hexagonal ZnO. PL results gave the information of oxygen defects present in the samples. Theabsorption band observed from FTIR at ~410 cm-1 confirmed the Zn-O (metal oxygen) vibration.
