In this paper, we address the synthesis of nano -coalesced microstructured zinc oxide thin films via a simple thermal evaporation process. The role of synthesis temperature on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of the prepared zinc oxide samples was deeply investigated. The obtained photoluminescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy outcomes will be used to discuss the surface structure defects of the prepared samples. The results indicated that the prepared samples are polycrystalline in nature, and the sample prepared at 700 degrees C revealed a tremendously c-axis oriented zinc oxide. The temperature -driven morphological evolution of the zinc oxide nano-coalesced microstructures was perceived, resulting in transformation of quasi -mountain chain-like to pyramidal textured zinc oxide with increasing the synthesis temperature. The results also impart that the sample prepared at 500 degrees C shows a higher percentage of the zinc interstitial and oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, the intensity of the photoluminescence emission in the ultraviolet region was enhanced as the heating temperature increased from 500 C to 700 degrees C. Lastly, the growth mechanism of the zinc oxide nano -coalesced microstructures is discussed according to the reaction conditions.
