“…Among the existing light extraction management strategies based on this increase, one can cite surface roughening [4,9], use of photonic crystals [2], nanorods or nanopillars [7] and many others. In particular, cheap and tunable [10,11] ZnO nanostructures such as nanorods, nanopillars, nanowires and nanosheets have attracted much attention to this end over last years since they can contribute to LEDs improvement in more than one way: 1) they are characterized by a refractive index (nZnObulk2.0-2.1) intermediary between GaN-based LED (n2.4) and air, expanding the escape cone value C [12][13][14], 2) their high surface-to-volume ratio allows a better thermal dissipation, entailing a longer LED lifetime [14], 3) depending on their morphology and inherent structural defects, they can be used either as light waveguides [15] or to increase light scattering through surface nanotexturing [16].…”
