چکیده
Surface modification and wetting state transformation of ZnO based nanomaterials have been extensively investigated due to their substantial roles in current industrial applications. In this work, we demonstrated the formation highly crystalline ordered Bi/ZnO nanorods arrays (Bi/ZNRs) grown on FTO substrate via a feasible hydrothermal method, as function reaction time (t). The lateral diameter nanostructures were found increased from 23 nm 43 when 30 min 90 min. An in-depth analysis incisive mechanism crystal growth under proposed. defect which originated different Bi incorporation pathways has declared main factor altering optical energy, electrical properties band structure Bi/ZNRs. Bi/ZNRs showed higher localize 14.5 pA compared pristine ZNRs an 6V applied bias condition, revealing nature pentavalent dopant that contributed density free electron. Additionally, also revealed red shifted energy gap exhibit transition hydrophobic hydrophilic textured surface. novel reported herein interesting physical for fabrication high performance optoelectronic devices.

متن کاملInvestigating structural, optical and photocatalytic properties of hydrothermally synthesized ZnO nanorod arrays with various aspect ratios
ZnO nanorods with various aspect ratios (by changing the time of growth between 0-240 min) were synthesized using hydrothermal method and were investigated using XRD, SEM, UV–Vis and PL. It was found that growth time is directly coupled with the length, orientation and aspect ratio of the nanorod arrays. The optical transmittance of the NR arrays indicated a regular decrement of average transmi...

متن کاملRefractive Dual Band Infrared Imager Optical Design
Infrared imagers are important for reorganization and monitoring. This paper discusses the design of an infrared imager. Optical design in medium wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long wavelength infrared (LWIR) bands is different and needs distinct detectors and materials. Reflective systems are not suitable due to their small field of view (FOV) and vignetting. Refractive dual band optical syste...
متن کاملOrdered SBA-15 nanorod arrays inside a porous alumina membrane.
The growth of ordered nanorods of mesoporous SBA-15 inside a porous alumina membrane has been achieved for the first time by a simple sol-gel method. The obtained SBA-15 nanorods themselves have ordered hexagonal mesochannels with a size of about 6 nm and have been arranged to form hexagonal arrays by the limitation of pores of the alumina membrane. The synthesized alumina membrane with mesopor...
