چکیده

In this work, we report on the structure study of electrodeposited ZnO nanowires. The samples were mounted as a working electrode and the deposition was performed in a classical three electrodes electrochemical cell. For obtaining ZnO nanowires, the working electrode was a polycarbonate membrane with a random distribution of nanometric pores, gilded one side to ensure electric contact. The morphology and structure characterizations of the different diameters ZnO nanowires were carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The electrons pattern diffraction confirmed the same crystal structure of electrodeposited ZnO nanowires indexed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) on electrodeposited ZnO thin films: hexagonal ZnO phase with cell parameters aZ0.32584 nm and cZ0.52289 nm. Both TEM investigations and HRTEM images reveal a monocrystalline structure for electrodeposited ZnO nanowires. A roughness of few nanometers on the wire surface was observed. Meanwhile, no preferential growth direction has been obviously detected. q 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Electrodeposited ZnO nanowires as photoelectrodes in solid-state organic dye-sensitized solar cells.

A new approach for developing solid-state dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) on glass/ITO and plastic substrates (PEN/ITO) is presented in this manuscript. A two step electrodeposition technique has been employed to realize the ZnO photoelectrodes. First a ZnO thin film is deposited on the ITO substrate and subsequently on this buffer layer 650 nm long ZnO nanowires are grown. The different nan...

Investigations of Magnetic Properties Through Electrodeposition Current and Controlled Cu Content in Pulse Electrodeposited CoFeCu Nanowires

CoFeCu nanowires were deposited by pulsed electrodeposition technique into the porous alumina templates by a two-step mild anodization technique, using the single-bath method. The electrodeposition was performed in a constant electrolyte while Cu constant was controlled by electrodeposition current. The electrodeposition current was 3.5, 4.25, 5 and 6 mA. The effect of electrodeposition current...

The study of humidity effect on carbon dioxide gas sensing properties of zinc oxide nanowires assisted by polyvinyl alcohol network at room temperature

In this research, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized by low cost hydrothermal method. The grown ZnO nanostructures had a dispersed distribution with nanowire morphology and the specific surface area of about 7 m2.gr-1 which they have crystalized in hexagonal wurtzite structure. ZnO nanowires/polyvinyl alcohol network (ZP) on the epoxy glass substrate with cu-interdigited electrods...
