Zinc oxide thin film synthesized by combustion chemical vapor deposition

Study of Morphological and Related Properties of Aligned Zinc Oxide Nanorods Grown by Vapor Phase Transport on Chemical Bath Deposited Buffer Layers

“…Zinc oxide has in the past decade come to the forefront of materials research owing to its favorable electronic, optical, and chemical properties and because it is of considerable interest for many applications. − For many of these applications, nanorods and nanowires are the preferred crystal morphology as they present significant advantages over bulk material or polycrystalline films. Consequently, there have been numerous reports on the growth of ZnO nanorods, both as unoriented and aligned arrays normal to the substrate, using a variety of techniques. − Vapor phase transport (VPT) is a successful approach to deposit such high quality aligned arrays, typically employing epitaxially matched substrates with a catalyst or directly onto previously formed c -axis textured ZnO buffer layers. Detailed studies on the role of the ZnO buffer layers during VPT deposition have previously been reported.…”

Single Step Growth and Characterization of Zinc Oxide, Tin Oxide, and Composite (ZnxSn1−xOy) Nanoplate and Nanocolumn Electrodes

“…CVD encompasses a wide group of methods that can yield high purity semiconductors. Branches of the technique include metal organic, 26 plasma‐enhanced, 27 combustion, 28 direct liquid injection, 29 atmospheric, 30 low pressure, 31 and ultra high vacuum 32 CVD. Aerosol‐assisted chemical vapor deposition 33 (AACVD) is another subcategory of CVD and unlike other CVD methods; the precursor is not required to be volatile but simply soluble in low viscous solvents 34 .…”

Structure morphologies and luminescence properties of ZnO nanomaterials synthesized by an acidic solution process

“…The synthesis of low-dimensional ZnO nanostructures, for example nanorods, nanobelts and nanoplatelets, has been reported recently [2]. The extensively used technologies for the synthesis of ZnO nanomaterials include solid vapour phase transport process [3], metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) [4], combustion CVD [5][6][7], molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [8], thermal evaporation [9], sputtering [10], sol-gel and solution processes [11][12][13][14][15]. Among these techniques, sol-gel and solution processes have become popular as low cost, low growth temperature, easy to scale-up and unbound growth methods.…”

“…Different ZnO nanostructures have been prepared through the sol-gel or solution process under different experimental conditions [11][12][13][14][15]. Since the synthesis route 5 Authors to whom any correspondence should be addressed.…”
