Structural and spectral properties of ZnO nanorods by wet chemical method for hybrid solar cells applications
Abstract The synthesis of ZnO nanorods on transparent conducting oxides, Al doped ZnO seed layer on glass substrate (AZO) and indium tin oxide substrate (ITO) by using zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn (NO3)2·6H2O) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT, (CH2)6N4 as raw materials is presented. The ZnO seed layer was fabricated by depositing an Al-doped ZnO thin film on glass substrate by sputtering. The effect of seeding on (AZO) and (ITO) substrate by using the wet chemical route growth of ZnO nanorods was investigated. The synthesized nanostructures of ZnO were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission…
Non-linear optical study of hierarchical 3D Al doped ZnO nanosheet arrays deposited by successive ionic adsorption and reaction method
Abstract Successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method is based on the adsorption and reaction of the ions in the cationic solution and the ionic solution, respectively. This method is simple, inexpensive, large-scale deposition, effective way for deposition on 3D substrates, low-temperature process and represents an easy way for the preparation of doped, composite and heterojunction materials. To take advantage of this method and the ZnO nanostructures, various parameters have been optimized. Undoped and Aluminum (Al) doped ZnO nanostructures were prepared by the SILAR technique. The characterization of the nanostructures prepared was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XR…
