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.     

Characterisation of ZnO nanorod arrays grown by a low temperature hydrothermal method

In this paper, growth steps of well defined ZnO nanorod arrays deposited on seeded substrates were investigated. To obtain ZnO seed layer on glass substrates, a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method was used and then ZnO nanorods were grown on seed layer using a chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The effects of seed layer and deposition time on morphology, crystallographic structure (e.g. grain size, microstrain and dislocation density) and electrical characteristics of ZnO nanorods were studied. From the SEM micrographs, it could be seen that the ZnO nanorods densely covered the substrate and were nearly perpendicular to the substrate surface. The XRD patterns showed that the ZnO nanorod arrays had a hexagonal wurtzite structure with a preferred orientation along the (002) plane. An increase in deposition time resulted in an increase in the intensity of the preferred orientation and grain size, but a decrease in microstrain and dislocation density. Electrical activation energies of the structures were calculated as 0.15–0.85?eV from current–temperature characteristics. It was concluded that the morphologies of the structures obtained in this study via a simple and fast solution method can provide high surface areas which are important in area-dependent applications, such as solar cells, hydrogen conversion devices, sensors, etc.     

Ordered silicon nanorod arrays with controllable geometry and robust hydrophobicity

Highly ordered silicon nanorod(Si NR)arrays with controllable geometry are fabricated via nanosphere lithography and metal-assisted chemical etching.It is demonstrated that the key to achieving a high-quality metal mask is to construct a non-close-packed template that can be removed with negligible damage to the mask.Hydrophobicity of Si NR arrays of different geometries is also studied.It is shown that the nanorod structures are effectively quasi-hydrophobic with a contact angle as high as 142°,which would be useful in self-cleaning nanorod-based device applications.

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.     

Surface-field-induced effects on morphologies of lamella-forming diblock copolymers in nanorod arrays

The surface-induced effect on the morphologies of lamella-forming diblock copolymers in nanorod arrays is studied by using the self-consistent field theory.In the simulation study,a rich variety of novel morphologies are observed by variations in the strength of the surface field for the diblock copolymers.Different surface-field-induced effects are examined for the diblock copolymers in the arrays with distinct preferential surfaces.It is observed that the majority-block preferential surfaces have more obvious induced effects than those of minority-block preferential surfaces.The strong surface fields exhibit different behaviours from those observed in the weak surface fields,by which the morphologies possess cylindrical symmetries.Results from this research deepen the knowledge of surface-induced effects in a confinement system,which may aid the fabrication of polymer-based nanomaterials.     

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.     

Plasmons in a free-standing nanorod with a two-dimensional parabolic quantum well caused by surface states

The collective charge density excitations in a free-standing nanorod with a two-dimensional parabolic quantum well are investigated within the framework of Bohm-Pine’s random-phase approximation in the two-subband model.The new simplified analytical expressions of the Coulomb interaction matrix elements and dielectric functions are derived and numerically discussed.In addition,the electron density and temperature dependences of dispersion features are also investigated.We find that in the two-dimensional parabolic quantum well,the intrasubband upper branch is coupled with the intersubband mode,which is quite different from other quasi-one-dimensional systems like a cylindrical quantum wire with an infinite rectangular potential.In addition,we also find that higher temperature results in the intersubband mode(with an energy of 12 meV(～ 3 THz)) becoming totally damped,which agrees well with the experimental results of Raman scattering in the literature.These interesting properties may provide useful references to the design of free-standing nanorod based devices.     

ZnO nanorod arrays with tunable size and field emission properties on an ITO substrate achieved by an electrodeposition method

In the present work,vertically aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with tunable size are successfully synthesized on nonseeded ITO glass substrates by a simple electrodeposition method.The effect of growth conditions on the phase,morphology,and orientation of the products are studied in detail by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).It is observed that the as-prepared nanostructures exhibit a preferred orientation along c axis,and the size and density of the ZnO nanorod can be controlled by changing the concentration of ZnCl2.Field emission properties of the as-synthesized samples with different diameters are also studied,and the results show that the nanorod arrays with a smaller diameter and appropriate rod density exhibit better emission properties.The ZnO nanorod arrays show a potential application in field emitters.     

The SERS response of semiordered Ag nanorod arrays fabricated by template oblique angle deposition

Semiordered Ag nanorod arrays are fabricated by template oblique angle deposition (OAD) using regular Au nano‐post arrays with different diameters as seed patterns. The Au nano‐post arrays do not give an observable surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity under our detection configuration, whereas the patterned Ag nanorod arrays can produce a very strong SERS signal. These SERS intensities increase monotonically with the decrease in the diameter and separation of the Ag nanorods, which demonstrates that one can improve the SERS detection by tuning the diameter and separation of the Ag nanorods, and the template OAD method can help produce more uniform, reproducible, and sensitive Ag nanorod SERS substrates.
