RETRACTED: Nucleation and growth behavior of well-aligned ZnO nanorods on organic substrates in aqueous solutions

“…2(d) illustrates that the ZnO nanorods are preferentially nucleated on the concave region from ZnO monolayer. A similar phenomenon has been observed for the aligned ZnO nanorods grown on the Si substrates buffered with ZnO film [17,20]. After nucleation, in the third stage, a preferential growth along the longitudinal direction (c-axis) for the oriented ZnO nanorods was expected because the ZnO growth unit (or coordination polyhedron) will stack in order and grow along [0 0 0 1] direction as observed in Fig.…”

Effect of sputtered films on morphology of vertical aligned ZnO nanowires

“…The large mismatches in the thermal expansion coefficients and the lattice constants would introduce a rather large stress between the ZnO and the Si substrate. This stress results in the poor morphology of ZnO nanowires [20]. Interestingly, vertical nanopencil/tip like ZnO nanostructures were observed for the ZnO/Si substrate ( Fig.…”

Research Progress in Preparation and Applications of ZnO Nanowire/rod Arrays by Hydrothermal Method

“…两步水热法的第一步是在基底上制备一层 ZnO 薄 膜作为种子层, 以减小纳米线/棒与基底之间的失配, 从 而制备出排列更加整齐的 ZnO 纳米线/棒阵列 [25] . 而制 备 ZnO 种子层的方法有多种, 主要包括射频磁控溅射 法 [26] 、脉冲激光沉积法 [27] 、电沉积法 [8] Figure 1 Top-view SEM images of ZnO nanowire arrays prepared by two-step hydrothermal method [15] (a) ZnO seed layer from the thermal decomposition of zinc acetate dihydrate, (b) seed layer from the dip-coating of preformed ZnO nanocrystals…”
