Description

A low-temperature method for growing (0001)-oriented one-dimensional ZnO nanopillars using electrodeposition in a simple zinc nitrate aqueous solution without any template is presented. The 20-100 nm diameter ZnO nanopillars emitted ultraviolet light at around 3.30 eV due to the recombination of the bound excitons and visible light at 2.30-2.55 eV at room temperature. Since the diameter and length can be controlled easily, some applications for use in ultraviolet light lasing diode and organic solar cells will be made
