Abstract

Single-crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods (NRs) have been synthesized through a chemical bath deposition method. Their diameter is about 80 nm, and their length range from 1 μm to 7 μm can be controlled by growth time. Formation of nanoflower arrays composed of nanorods has been also achieved utilizing a standard micro-fabrication technique. Two types of ZnO nanorods devices are detailed to demonstrate their optoelectronic applications.
