Fabrication of ZnO nanorods by electrochemical deposition process

Abstract

    In this article, ZnO nanorods were studied by electrochemical deposition process and characterized by SEM, XRD, PL. The results from the SEM show that ZnO nanorods have uniform density with an average diameter of 50-60 nm and the average length of 1.2-1.3 μm. In addition, the XRD and PL spectrum showed the hexagonal wurtzite crystal of ZnO nanorods. Moreover, PL spectrum exhibited emitting of ZnO nanorods at 380 nm contributed by the band-to-band transition and 500-650 nm, also derived from surface defects.
