During the past decade, scientists have developed techniques for synthesizing and
characterizing many new materials with at least one dimension on the nanoscale, including …

Transition metal oxide based semiconductors hold great promise for photocatalytic
applications. But critical factors such as the high rate of charge-carrier recombination and …

The influence of defects on the photoactivity of ZnO has been revealed. The defects can be
formed via ball-milling treatment, and part of the defects can be repaired via annealing …

According to the definition of a gas sensor, given by the International Union of Pure and
Applied Chemistry (lUPAC)," a chemical sensor is a device that transforms chemical …

We report the structure, optical, and gas-sensing properties of ZnO nanorods with different
diameters. Vertically well-aligned homogeneous nanorods were grown along the c-axis …

A clear correlation between defect‐related emissions and the magnetization of ZnO
nanorods synthesized by a one‐step aqueous chemical method is demonstrated. The …

P-type CuO nanorods with the breadth of 15–20nm and the length of 60–80nm, have been
synthesized using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MH) method. The band gap of CuO …

In the present work, Al doped ZnO films have been deposited by using simple chemical
Spray Pyrolysis Technique. The films were deposited at temperature 400° C. The structural …

Standard vapour phase growth process for ZnO tetrapods has been optimized in order to
reach a very large yield, a good reproducibility and a single morphology (tetrapods are …

In this work, 1D ZnO nano-assemblies were prepared on Al2O3 substrates by plasma
enhanced-chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD), and characterized in their morphology and …
