SERS,AFM and Electrochemical Characterization of Metal Nanorod and Nanowire Arrays

Metal nanowires (nanorods) have novel properties and potential applications in a wide field^[1]. Many two-dimensional nanowire arrays of semiconductors and metals with different diameter and length have been made using template synthesis method^[2]. The nanorod arrays of various metals (e.g., Cu, Ag,Au, Ni and Co) with different diameters from about 15 nm to 130 nm were fabricated by electrodeposition of the metals into the highly ordered nanochannel arrays in alumina film followed by partial removal of the film in phosphoric acid or sodium hydroxide. In the present work, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), AFM and electrochemical methods have been used to characterize the metal nanorod (nanowire) arrays. Tapping mode AFM and SERS were performed on Nanoscope Ⅲa (Digital Instruments) and on confocal Raman microscopy (LabRam I,Dilor) respectively.

Low-temperature growth of ZnO nanorods by chemical bath deposition

Aligned ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized using a chemical bath deposition method at normal atmospheric pressure without any metal catalyst. A simple two-step process was developed for growing ZnO nanorods on a PET substrate at 90-95 degrees C. The ZnO seed precursor was prepared by a sol-gel reaction. ZnO nanorod arrays were fabricated on ZnO-seed-coated substrate. The ZnO seeds were indispensable for the aligned growth of ZnO nanorods. The ZnO nanorods had a length of 400-500 nm and a diameter of 25-50 nm. HR-TEM and XRD analysis confirmed that the ZnO nanorod is a single crystal with a wurtzite structure and its growth direction is [0001] (the c-axis). Photoluminescence measurements of ZnO nanorods revealed an intense ultraviolet peak at 378.3 nm (3.27 eV) at room temperature.

Tuning the Dimensions of ZnO Nanorod Arrays for Application in Hybrid Photovoltaics

ZnO nanorod arrays are a very eligible option as electron acceptor material in hybrid solar cells, owing to their favorable electrical properties and abundance of available, easy, and low‐cost synthesis methods. To become truly effective in this field, a major prerequisite is the ability to tune the nanorod dimensions towards optimal compatibility with electron‐donating absorber materials. In this work, a water‐based seeding and growth procedure is used to synthesize ZnO nanorods. The nanorod diameter is tuned either by modifying the zinc concentration of the seeding solution or by changing the concentration of the hydrothermal growth solution. The consequences of this morphological tailoring in the performance of hybrid solar cells are investigated, which leads to a new record efficiency of 0.82 % for hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods of size 300 nm in combination with poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl) (P3HT). This improvement is attributed to a combined effect of nanorod diameter and orientation, and possibly to a better alignment of the P3HT backbone resulting in improved charge transport.     

Formation of ordered arrays of oriented polyaniline nanoparticle nanorods

We report the preparation of ordered polyaniline (PANI) nanorod arrays in an aqueous medium. The oriented PANI nanorods (80-400 nm in diameter and 8-15 mum in length) were synthesized in the presence of hydrophilic Allura Red AC (ARAC) as the structure-directing agent and ammonium persulfate as an oxidant in HCl solution. The morphologies of the oriented PANI nanoparticle nanorods were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy images, and the effect of reaction conditions on the morphology of PANI nanostructures was also studied. On the basis of the result obtained from small-angle X-ray scattering, we propose that rodlike micelle arrays of ARAC-aniline are responsible for directing the formation of oriented PANI nanoparticle nanorods. SEM images and the data analysis of static and dynamic light scattering give supportive evidence to the formation of the PANI nanoparticle nanorods by an elongation process. The chemical and electronic structures of the PANI nanorods were also studied by Fourier transform IR and UV-vis spectrometries, respectively.     

Influence of different substrates on ZnO nanorod arrays properties

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays were grown on different substrates by hydrothermal method. The crystallinity of ZnO nanorod was regularly investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to examine morphology of the ZnO nanorods. The results indicate that the nanorods grow along [002] orientation. SEM and TEM images and XRD patterns show that the growth of ZnO nanorods on graphene/Quartz substrate is better than the other substrates due to the number and size of the nanorods which are highly affected through the properties of ZnO seed layers and it has lower defects than the other substrates. PL spectra ZnO would have a higher concentration of oxygen vacancy.
