nanorods with peculiar sensing characteristics at room temperature. High quality
polycrystalline nanorods were synthesized by a low temperature hydrothermal method. The
rods are well oriented with an aspect ratio of 5.71. Luminescence spectrum of CuO
nanorods exhibited a strong UV-emission around 415 nm (2.98 eV) which arises from the
electron-hole recombination phenomenon. The absence of further deep level emissions …
