Abstract

A facile and convenient aqueous route has been employed to synthesize well -aligned ZnO nanorods. Field emission scanning electron microscopy studies of ZnO nanorod arrays grown at 70°C on ZnO/Si substrates show fine homogeneous surface. The average diameter of ZnO nanorod is in between 50-60 nm .The length of each nanorod is about 400-500 nm. Structural analysis showed that the ZnO nanorods are single crystalline with wurtzite hexagonal phase. Room temperature photoluminescence spectra of the ZnO nanorod arrays exhibit ultra violet emission and green emission. In addition, selective growth of ZnO nanorods on patterned ITO glass substrate is obtained. Each nanorod has diameter of 50 - 70 nm and their length upto 500 nm. XRD pattern shows that ZnO nanorods on patterned ITO substrate are single crystalline in nature with wurtzite hexagonal phase. The room temperature photoluminescence from the aligned ZnO nanorods showed a strong ultra violet emission at 378 nm and broad deep level visible emission at 580 nm.
