Description
Summary:In this study, we demonstrate the ZnO nanorods (NRs) and nanocombs (NCs) by simple galvanostatic electrochemical deposition process. The ZnO nanostructures act as high ultra-violet (UV) sensing material due to high aspect ratio. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra and time-dependent photo response of the ZnO nanostructures grown on Au/Si has exhibited good optical properties. At room temperature, NCs showed good response with change 8% its resistance, few second's response time and fully recovery. Inversely, in high temperature ZnO NRs indicated better response than NCs with change of 20% of its resistance. The dependence photoresponse on temperature demonstrated clearly how surface-defects affect on UV response of ZnO nanostructures.
