Heteroepitaxial growth of ZnO branches selectively on TiO2 nanorod tips with improved light harvesting performance.
A seeded heteroepitaxial growth of ZnO nanorods selectively on TiO(2) nanorod tips was achieved by restricting crystal growth on highly hydrophobic TiO(2) nanorod film surfaces. Intriguing light harvesting performance and efficient charge transport efficiency has been found, which suggest potential applications in photovoltaics and optoelectronics.
متن کاملNanoparticle and nanorod TiO2 composite photoelectrodes with improved performance.
A novel nanoparticle-nanorod composite TiO(2) photoelectrode is fabricated. A 3.20% efficiency is achieved by using a 2.1 μm-thick as-prepared photoelectrode, which is about 3 times of that obtained by a nanorod array electrode (1.05%). The results demonstrate that the composite nanostructure can take advantage of both fast electron transport (nanorod) and high surface area (nanoparticle).
متن کاملNovel ZnO microflowers on nanorod arrays: local dissolution-driven growth and enhanced light harvesting in dye-sensitized solar cells
ZnO nanostructures were manipulated, via a low-temperature solution process, from pure nanorod arrays to complex nanostructures of microflowers on nanorod arrays with adjusted quantities of flowers. We proposed the mechanism of local dissolution-driven growth to rationally discuss the novel growth process. These nanostructures were used as photoanodes in dye-sensitized solar cells. Compared to ...
متن کاملGrowth and optical properties of ZnO nanorod arrays on Al-doped ZnO transparent conductive film
ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) on transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films have been grown by a solution-free, catalyst-free, vapor-phase synthesis method at 600°C. TCO films, Al-doped ZnO films, were deposited on quartz substrates by magnetron sputtering. In order to study the effect of the growth duration on the morphological and optical properties of NRAs, the growth duration was changed from 3 t...
متن کاملHETEROEPITAXIAL GROWTH OF TiO2, VO2, AND TiO2/VO2 MULTILAYERS BY MOCVD
Titanium and vanadium dioxide systems were selected to study the MOCVD process for the growth of oxide epitaxial films. Single-crystal Ti02 and V02 films in single and multilayered configurations have been successfully grown on sapphire (a-Al203) single-crystal substrates. Seven distinct epitaxial orientation relationships between the films and the substrates were observed. Discussion on these ...
