Photovoltaic properties of the copper-phthalocyanine and ZnO nanorod array system affected by ethanol

Well-aligned ZnO nanorod array, fabricated on conductive indium-tin-oxide (ITO) substrate by wet chemical bath deposition (CBD) method, was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Surface photovoltage (SPV) technique was employed to study the photovoltaic properties of the copper-phthalocyanine (CuPc) and ZnO nanorod array system affected by ethanol. Prior to ethanol adsorption, two pronounced SPV response bands were exhibited for this system in the range 300-410 and 540-760 nm, respectively. Post-adsorption measurements reveal that the SPV intensity of the former band is enhanced, while that of the latter band is suppressed if ethanol was used to modify CuPc surface. Moreover, both of the SPV intensity of two response bands is enhanced if ethanol was used to modify ZnO and CuPc interface. Mechanisms of these phenomena were suggested.     

Fabrication of an intelligent superhydrophobic surface based on ZnO nanorod arrays with switchable adhesion property

The superhydrophobic ZnO surface possessing water adhesive reversibility is fabricated by a facile method. The as-prepared surface is low adhesive; however, after being irradiated by UV light through a photomask, it becomes highly adhesive. A water droplet can suspend on the irradiated surface. Further annealing the irradiated surface, water droplets can roll on the surface again. Reversible transition between the high adhesive pinning state and low adhesive rolling state can be realized simply by UV illumination and heat treatment alternately. The adhesion transition is attributed to the adsorption/desorption of surface hydroxyl groups and the organic chains rearrangement on the top surfaces of ZnO.     

Ultrafast laser assisted fabrication of ZnO nanorod arrays for photon detection applications

Orderly aligned ZnO nanorod arrays were grown by the ultrafast laser assisted ablation deposition method. These nanorod arrays were further used to make efficient p-n heterojunction photodetector arrays, which have the potential to have nanoscale spatial resolution for imaging, unique incident polarization discrimination capability, and much improved quantum efficiency as well as detection sensitivity. Both front- and back-illumination photodetection schemes were demonstrated by growing those ZnO nanorod arrays on p-type silicon and p-type Zn_0.9Mg_0.1O-coated Al₂O₃ (0 0 0 1) substrates, respectively. Typical diode rectification behavior and photosensitivity were observed in both designs through I-V and photocurrent measurements.     

Characterization of optoelectronic properties of the ZnO nanorod array using surface photovoltage technique

Well-aligned ZnO nanorod array, synthesized by wet chemical bath deposition (CBD) method on conductive indium-in-oxide (ITO) substrate, was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Surface photovoltage (SPV) technique based on a scanning Kelvin Probe system was employed to investigate the optoelectronic behavior of ZnO nanorod array. The surface photovoltage and its time-resolved evolution process are used to determine the energy level structure of the ZnO nanorod array.     

Controlled synthesis of oriented ZnO nanorod arrays by seed-layer-free electrochemical deposition

Oriented ZnO nanorod arrays were successfully prepared on transparent conductive substrates by seed-layer-free electrochemical deposition in solution of Zn(NO₃)₂ at a low temperature of 70 °C without using any catalysts, additives, and additional seed crystals. The effects of the Zn(NO₃)₂ concentration, deposition time and applied current on the localized nanorod arrays are investigated. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to characterize the structures and the morphologies of ZnO nanorod arrays. The heights and diameters of ZnO nanorods can be tuned by controlling the electrodeposition parameters.     

Seed layer-free synthesis and characterization of vertically grown ZnO nanorod array via the stepwise solution route

A novel stepwise method was developed for the deposition of ZnO nanorod array (NRA) from the simple inorganic aqueous solution. Different from the traditional one-pot synthesis route, merely a thin liquid precursor layer adsorbed on the substrate instead of the bulk solution underwent the reaction at elevated temperature in a typical deposition cycle. Sparse and vertically grown wurtzite ZnO NRA was deposited on seed layer-free glass substrate after 20 cycles (in typically 20 min). Each individual ZnO rod possessed the well-defined hexagonal facet, the side length of about 150 nm, the aspect ratio of 2:3, and the small size dispersity. Also the overall ZnO NRA exhibited high ultraviolet photoluminescence and weak blue emission, indicating its good optical properties. Mechanism analysis indicated that, the decrease of the supersaturation degree in solution after the climax in the reaction period of each deposition cycle is the root cause of the sparse nucleation and the vertical growth of ZnO nanorods. The work has opened up a novel stepwise approach toward high quality ZnO NRA, being valuable for extending the synthetic methods of semiconductor nanostructures in mild solutions.
