Fabrication and Growth Mechanism of ZnO Nanorods by Electrochemical Method
ZnO nanorods arrays were prepared by cathodic electrochemical deposition method
in which ITO-coated glass substrate were used as a cathode. The electrolyte consisted of an aqueous solution of Zn(NO

O with the concentration of 0.01 molL

and KCl supporting electrolyte with the concentration of 0.1 molL

were used for the depositing. The influences of depostion potential and buffer layer on the preferred orientation and density of the ZnO nanorods were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A significant variation of density and orientation of ZnO nanorod arrays were obtained by changing the deposition time of buffer layer. Pre-deposition ZnO buffer layer relieved the lattice mismatch between ZnO and ITO substrate
and also provided the nuclei centers for the ZnO nanorods. SEM and XRD data showed that ZnO nanorods with the highest density and best
c
-axis orientation can be achieved by pre-depositing a buffer layer at applied potential of -1.10 V and last for 60 s.
