title: Microwave synthesis of zinc sulfite and porous zinc oxide microrods.
abstract: ZnSO(3) microrods with uniform size and shape can be prepared under microwave irradiation at much higher speed than a conventional heating bath, usually in minutes. The annealing of ZnSO(3) microrods produced porous ZnO microrods with pore size between 50-200 nm.
