Synthesis of sulfur-doped ZnO nanowires by electrochemical deposition

Sulfur-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have been successfully synthesized by an electric field-assisted electrochemical deposition in porous anodized aluminum oxide template at room temperature. X-ray diffraction and the selected area electron diffraction results show that the as-synthesized nanowires are single crystalline and have a highly preferential orientation. Transmission electron microscopy observations indicate that the nanowires are uniform with an average diameter of 70 nm and length up to several tens of micrometers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy further reveals the presence of S in the ZnO nanowires. Room-temperature photoluminescence is observed in the doped ZnO nanowires, which exhibits a violet emission and blue emissions besides the typical photoluminescence spectrum of a single crystal ZnO.     

Structure study of electrodeposited ZnO nanowires

In this work, we report on the structure study of electrodeposited ZnO nanowires. The samples were mounted as a working electrode and the deposition was performed in a classical three electrodes electrochemical cell. For obtaining ZnO nanowires, the working electrode was a polycarbonate membrane with a random distribution of nanometric pores, gilded one side to ensure electric contact. The morphology and structure characterizations of the different diameters ZnO nanowires were carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The electrons pattern diffraction confirmed the same crystal structure of electrodeposited ZnO nanowires indexed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) on electrodeposited ZnO thin films: hexagonal ZnO phase with cell parameters a=0.32584 nm and c=0.52289 nm. Both TEM investigations and HRTEM images reveal a monocrystalline structure for electrodeposited ZnO nanowires. A roughness of few nanometers on the wire surface was observed. Meanwhile, no preferential growth direction has been obviously detected.     

Catalyst-free growth of ZnO nanowires on various-oriented sapphire substrates by pulsed-laser deposition

Catalyst-free growth of one-dimensional zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires is reported. ZnO nanowires were synthesized on ZnO buffer layers deposited on various-oriented sapphire substrates. Syntheses of ZnO buffer layers and nanowires were performed by ultraviolet pulsed-laser deposition. ZnO nanowire's number density was the lowest in the case of using m-cut sapphire substrates. ZnO nanowires grown on a-cut sapphire substrates had vertical alignment with distances of tens to hundreds of nanometers. On the other hand, ZnO nanowires grown on c-cut sapphire substrates had the biggest nucleation rate. The dependence of crystalline orientation of ZnO buffer layers on the orientation of sapphire substrates were investigated by electron back scatter diffraction measurement. From their results, the growth models of ZnO buffer layers were suggested and the variations in morphological properties of ZnO nanowires were discussed.

Characterization and Field‐Emission Properties of Needle‐like Zinc Oxide Nanowires Grown Vertically on Conductive Zinc Oxide Films

Needle‐like ZnO nanowires with high density are grown uniformly and vertically over an entire Ga‐doped conductive ZnO film at 550 °C. The nanowires are grown preferentially in the c‐axis direction. The X‐ray diffraction (XRD) θ‐scan curve shows a full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of 2°. This indicates that the c‐axes of the nanorods are along the normal direction of the substrate surface. The investigation using high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirmed that each nanowire is a single crystal. A room‐temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the wires consists of a strong and sharp UV emission band at 380 nm and a weak and broad green–yellow band. It reveals a low concentration of oxygen vacancies in the ZnO nanowires and their high optical quality. Field electron emission from the wires was also investigated. The turn‐on field for the ZnO nanowires was found to be about 18 V μm^–1 at a current density of 0.01 μA cm^–2. The emission current density from the ZnO nanowires reached 0.1 mA cm^–2 at a bias field of 24 V μm^–1.
