ZnO nanohemispheres are successfully synthesized via thermal decomposition approach using [bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydato)zinc(II)] complex, as precursor. The final ZnO nanoparticleswere characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmissionelectron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Furthermore, the same solid phase thermal treatment is preformed and the morphology is compared with the obtained ZnO nanohemispheres
