A two-step route to synthesize highly oriented ZnO nanotube arrays
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Large-scale and highly oriented ZnO nanotube arrays are synthesized on transparent conductive glass substrates by a two-step route. First, ZnO nanorod arrays were prepared by electrochemical deposition from an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate. Then, hollow ZnO nanotubes were obtained by the selective dissolution of the electrodeposited ZnO nanorods in potassium hydroxide solution. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) have been used to characterize the morphology and structure of the derived products. The effect of the concentration of alkali, dissolution time, and temperature on the formation process and morphologies of ZnO nanotube arrays has been discussed.
