This investigation concerns the synthesis as well as structural and morphological characterizations of pure and Ce-doped ZnO nanorods. The samples were synthesized by simple low-temperature hydrothermal process using respectively NaOH and KOH as caustic bases. The as-synthesized nanorods were characterized in terms of their morphological, structural, compositional and vibrational properties. The sizes of the rods were found to be 1.5 μm to 2 μm in length and 250 nm to 300 nm in diameter. The presence of Ce ions in ZnO (NaOH) favored the agglomeration of the rods to form flower-like nanostructures. EDAX measurements showed Zn rich materials with high oxygen vacancy concentration. XRD results indicated that the synthesized ZnO nanorods possess a pure wurtzite structure with good crystallinity. It has also been found that Ce doping deteriorates the crystalline quality of ZnO (NaOH) and improves that of ZnO (KOH). The insignificant intensities observed in FT-IR signals confirm that the synthesized nanorods are of high purity. The Raman spectroscopy studies showed that Ce ions shift the vibrational modes towards lower frequencies. The peaks related to E2 (high) mode in ZnO (KOH) are relatively intense compared to those of ZnO (NaOH). The peaks are found to be shifted and asymmetrically broadened due to anharmonic effects originating from quantum-phonon-effect confinement.

We report a new direct fabrication of the ZnO nanorods (NR) by hydrothermal method, in which the preparation of seed layer is eliminated. We show that the tuning of initial temperature rate during the hydrothermal process plays a key role in the structural modification of the ZnO NR. A highly oriented ZnO NR is successfully fabricated by using a low rate of initial temperature. The increase of optical absorption and electron transport was obtained by reducing the diameter and increasing distribution of the ZnO NR on the substrate. Interestingly, an additional absorption from the defects is obtained in the system, which plays an important role in expanding the optical absorption. Our system will provide a favourable characteristic for developing the high-performance optoelectronic devices with high optical absorption and high electron transport.

In this work we discuss a method of preparation of a highly sensitive light detector based on ZnO nanorods. A photoresistor constructed by us is based on a heterojunction between high quality ZnO nanorods and high resistivity p-type Si used as a substrate for nanorods’ deposition. ZnO nanorods are grown by a modified version of a microwave assisted hydrothermal method which allows for growth of high quality ZnO nanorods in a few minutes. The obtained photoresistor responds to a wide spectral range of light starting from near infrared (IR) to ultraviolet (UV). Properties of the detector are evaluated. We propose the use of the detector as an optical switch.

Hybrid filter material was obtained via modification of polypropylene (PP) nonwoven with nanosize zinc oxide particles of a high aspect ratio. Modification was conducted as a three-step process, a variant of hydrothermal method used for synthesis of nano-ZnO, adopted for coating three dimensional polymeric nonwoven filters. The process consisted of plasma treatment of nonwoven to increase its wettability, deposition of ZnO nanoparticles and low temperature hydrothermal growth of ZnO rods. The modified nonwovens were investigated by a high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM). It has been found that the obtained hybrid filters offer a higher filtration efficiency, in particular for so called most penetrating particle sizes.

Praca przedstawia nową metodę wzrostu nanosłupków ZnO z roztworu wodnego. Metoda pozwala na wzrost nanosłupków ZnO wysokiej jakości w bardzo krótkim czasie (1-3 minuty), przy czym jest tania (zarówno prekursory jak i aparatura) i nie wykorzystuje toksycznych materiałów. Wzrost odbywa się w zaledwie 50şC przy ciśnieniu atmosferycznym w roztworze wodnym ocatnu cynku. Podłoże użyte w procesie musi być pokryte nanostrukturami złota, które zarodkują wzrost (możliwe są jednak inne metody zarodkowania wzrostu, nie wymagające użycia złota). Metoda wykorzystuje wodę i octan cynku jako prekursory. Metoda charakteryzuje się dużą powtarzalnością, dzięki czemu może zostać potencjalnie wykorzystana w przemyśle do masowej produkcji matryc nanosłupków ZnO na różnych podłożach, m.in. do zastosowań w ogniwach fotowoltaicznych, fotorezystorach czy czujnikach substancji chemicznych.

We present a new technology of the growth of ZnO nanorods from the water solution.The method allows for the growth of ZnO nanorods of a very high quality in a very short time (1-3 minutes). The method is inexpensive (both technology and precursors) and non-toxic. The growth is performer at 50şC under atmospheric pressure in a water solution. The substrate used in the growth process needs to be coated with gold nanodroplets, which nucleate the growth. Water and zinc acetate are used as a oxygen and zinc precursors. The method is reproducibleand can be succesfully used in the industry for mass production of ZnO nanorods matrices on different substrates, for example in photovoltaic cells, photoresistors or sensors.

ZnO nanorod arrays were grown on a flexible Kapton tape using microwave-assisted chemical bath deposition. High crystalline properties of the produced nanorods were proven by X-ray diffraction patterns and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, the photoluminescence spectrum showed higher UV peaks compared with visible peaks, which indicates that the ZnO nanorods had high quality and low number of defects. The metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) configuration was used to fabricate UV and hydrogen gas detectors based on the ZnO nanorods grown on a flexible Kapton tape. Upon exposure to 395 nm UV light, the UV device exhibited fast response and decay times of 37 ms and 44 ms, respectively, at a bias voltage of 30 V. The relative sensitivities of the gas sensor made of the ZnO nanorod arrays, at hydrogen concentration of 2 %, at room temperature, 150 C, are 0.42, 1.4 and 1.75 respectively.
