Zinc Oxide (ZnO) has a huge potential in absorbing light quanta and solar spectrum. Being an appealing semiconductor, ZnO has been synthesized widely to escalate its ability as a nanostructure. In this review, nanostructures of ZnO have been studied as a means to provide simple approaches using anodization. 1 D nanostructures of nanorods, nanotubes and nanowires, and 3 D nanostructures of nanoflowers are chosen due to these dimensional structures synthesized thrivingly via anodization. Observations were made on parameters of times, voltages, and electrolyte concentration. The enlightenment of these synthesis presents the simple approaches and understanding to be imposed on for future endeavor. © 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
