As an alternative to the gold standard TiO2 photocatalyst, the use of zinc oxide (ZnO) as a
robust candidate for wastewater treatment is widespread due to its similarity in charge …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods have been extensively investigated, owing to their extraordinary
applications in numerous fields, spatially microchip technology, solar cells, sensors …

Photocatalytic water splitting is a promising strategy to convert solar energy into chemical
energy. Herein, a series of g-C3N4/polydopamine (g-C3N4/PDA) composites were …

We have converted nanoscale mechanical energy into electrical energy by means of
piezoelectric zinc oxide nanowire (NW) arrays. The aligned NWs are deflected with a …

This paper presents a review of current research activities on ZnO nanorods (or nanowires).
We begin this paper with a variety of physical and chemical methods that have been used to …

Nanoenergy is a field of studying the small-scale, highly efficient energy harvesting, storage,
and applications by using nanomaterials and nanodevices. Nanogenerators are developed …

Electroluminescent (EL) devices (see Figure) have been fabricated using n‐ZnO nanorod
arrays grown on p‐GaN epilayers. Simple heteroepitaxial growth yields vertically aligned …

The sensitivity for detecting hydrogen with multiple ZnO nanorods is found to be greatly
enhanced by sputter-depositing clusters of Pd on the surface. The resulting structures show …

The large surface area of ZnO nanorods makes them attractive for gas and chemical
sensing, and the ability to control their nucleation sites makes them candidates for micro …
