In recent years one dimensional (1D) nanostructures (nanotubes, nanowires, nanoribbons and nanorods) have been widely studied. Among studied nano-materials, the greatest interest can be seen for zinc oxide (ZnO). However, there is still a need for simple, inexpensive and reproducible fabrication method. In the literature different fabrication methods can be found, most of them requires expensive equipment and involve complex fabrication process. An alternative is chemical bath deposition (CBD). This method is simpler than the others and does not require sophisticated equipment. In this paper the CBD method is studied for fabrication of ZnO nanorods. The influence of synthesis temperature and time are studied. Relation between these conditions and ZnO morphology are showed. The length and diameter of ZnO nanorods are taken under consideration. Typically, the synthesized ZnO nanorods are 100-300 nm in diameter and 0.8-4 um long.
