Electrochemical Growth of Nanopillar Zinc Oxide Films by Applying a Low Concentration of Zinc Nitrate Precursor

Zinc oxide nanopillars with a single crystalline structure on the indium tin oxide substrate were prepared by using an electrodepositing process in lower concentrations of aqueous Zn(N03)2 and 0.1 M KCI solutions. Surface structure and crystal orientation of the prepared ZnO films were characterized...

description Zinc oxide nanopillars with a single crystalline structure on the indium tin oxide substrate were prepared by using an electrodepositing process in lower concentrations of aqueous Zn(N03)2 and 0.1 M KCI solutions. Surface structure and crystal orientation of the prepared ZnO films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction, respectively. By varying the electrolyte composition, the morphology and crystal orientation of ZnO films may be changed dramatically. Well-oriented ZnO nanopillars can be obtained at a relatively low concentration of zinc ion in the electrolyte, and at a lower potential. A bandgap energy change of grown ZnO with different Zn(N03)2 concentrations was observed. The effects of electrodepositing potential, deaerating, and annealing are also discussed.
