A zinc oxide nanorod ammonia microsensor integrated with a readout circuit on-a-chip fabricated using the commercial 0.35 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process was investigated. The structure of the ammonia sensor is composed of a sensitive film and polysilicon electrodes. The ammonia sensor requires a post-process to etch the sacrificial layer, and to coat the sensitive fil...

the preparation of nanostructure type manganese oxide and cobalt oxide materials with the smallest particle size is reported here. the nanorod manganese oxide and cobalt oxide nanotube were prepared via a sol-gel reaction in reverse micelles from kmno4 and cocl2 with respectively source at room-temperature. the structure and surface morphology of the obtained manganese oxide were studied by mea...

The main aim of the present study was to investigate effect microwave irradiation time on photocatalytic and physiological comfort characteristics zinc-oxide-nanorod-coated cotton fabrics. An ultra-fast technique employed grow zinc oxide nanorods fabrics using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. axial (length) lateral (diameter) growth observed increase with time. ZnO uniformly entirely c...

Well-aligned and single-crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays were grown on silicon (Si) substrate using a wet chemical route for the photodegradation of organic dyes. Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction confirmed the formation of ZnO nanorods grown preferentially oriented in the (001) direct...

Heteronanostructured zinc oxide nanorod (ZnO NR) array are vertically grown on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) through a hydrothermal method followed by an in situ deposition of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) through a photoreduction process. The Ag-ZnO heterostructured nanorods on PDMS are measured with an average diameter of 160 nm and an average length of 2 μm. ZnO NRs measured by high-resolution...

Nanoscaled WO3 particles coated on ZnO nanorod composites were fabricated through combining hydrothermal technique with chemical precipitation process. The configuration, crystal structure and element composition of the as-prepared WO3/ZnO nanorods were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) along with a high resolution trans...

The effects of zinc oxide nanorod on the barrier, sorption isotherm and antibacterial properties of tapioca starch/bovine gelatin Bionanocomposite films were investigated. The nanorod-rich ZnO (ZnO-N) was homogenized by sonication and incorporated into tapioca starch/bovine gelatin solutions at different concentrations (e.g. 0.5, 2, and 3.5% w/w dried solid). Incorporation of 3.5% of nanopartic...

Nowadays glucose detection is of great importance in the fields of biological, environmental, and clinical analyzes. In this research, we report a zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod powder surface-coated with carbon material for non-enzymatic glucose sensor applications through a hydrothermal process and chemical vapor deposition method. A series of tests, including crystallinity analysis, microstructure...

We report on the development of Ni-shielded ZnO nanorod (NR) structures and the impact of the Ni layer on the ZnO NR properties. We developed nickel-capped zinc oxide nanorod (ZnO/Ni NR) structures by e-beam evaporation of Ni and the subsequent annealing of the ZnO/Ni core/shell nanostructures. The core/shell NRs annealed at 400 °C showed superior crystalline and emission properties. More inter...
