“…It exhibits a wide bandgap of 3.37 eV and a large free exciton binding energy of 60 meV at normal room temperature, this property allows for efficient excitonic emission at room temperature [2]. Properties such as high transparency in the visible region, lowcost deposition techniques [3], among others has made it an important material in several functional devices such as ultra-violet laser diodes, visible LED's [4,5], solar cells [6,7], sensors [8,9] and photo-catalyst [10,11]. ZnO is used as a transparent electrode in solar application due to its transparency to visible light and high conductivity (through doping).…”
