L. Vayssieres et al., Purpose-built anisotropic metal oxide material: 3D highly oriented microrod array of ZnO, J PHYS CH B, 105(17), 2001, pp. 3350-3352
We are reporting here on the inexpensive fabrication of large three-dimensi
onal and highly oriented porous microrod array of n-type ZnO semiconductor
with a unique designed architecture consisting of well-defined, length-tail
ored, monodisperse, perpendicularly oriented single-crystalline hexagonal r
ods, grown directly onto polycrystalline, single-crystalline, or amorphous
substrates, from an aqueous solution of zinc salt at low temperature.
