In this study, we report one-dimensional Li-doped ZnO nanorods (NRs) fabricated on glass substrates by the hydrothermal method and the fabrication of Li-doped ZnO NR photodetectors. It was found that the as-grown Li-doped ZnO NRs were structurally equivalent to a wurtzite structure. The NRs had average diameters of ~125, ~138, and ~176 nm. It was seen clearly that the Li-doped ZnO NRs had a uniform hexagonal structure. The on/off current contrast ratio of the Li-doped ZnO NR photodetector was approximately 19.3, and its dynamic response was revealed to be reproducible and stable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
