concentration in the electrolyte. The increase of the carrier concentration as a result of Al doping leads to the blue shift of the optical band gap in ZnO nanorods (3.64-3.65 eV)
which is ascribed to the Burstein-Moss effect. The Stokes shift of Al-doped ZnO nanorods is in the range of 215-225 meV
indicating a large nonradiative recombination in the nanorods.
