Abstract:Synthesis of vertically well-aligned ZnO nanorods on Au coated silicon substrate by a facile electrochemical route has been carried out. The transformation of as-deposited ZnO nanorods into nanotubes was achieved via simple, single step, chemical etching process using KOH as etchant. The influence of various parameters of the etching, such as concentration of the etchant, bath temperature and duration on morphological features of the ZnO nanotubes has been investigated. It is observed that formation of ZnO nan… Show more
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.
