Abstract:
Vertical-aligned arrays of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod were grown on nickel-coated polyester s for future development of ZnO nanorod-based solar cells. ZnO nanorods with aspect ratio of three were deposited by chemical solution deposition (CBD). Besides, an underlying ZnO seed layer was introduced to grow large-area and continuous layer of ZnO nanorods using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Structurally, dominating XRD diffraction of the ZnO nanorod arrays was occurred at lattice plane (002) and a specific Raman spectrum was also obtained. Optically, bandgap energy of the ZnO nanorods was 3.95 eV.

A new fabrication process for an optical resonator is developed by means of a combination of surface texturing using nano plastic forming and self-organization using thermal dewetting.

Conventional nanorod-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are fabricated by growing nanorods on top of a transparent conducting oxide (TCO, typically fluorine-doped tin oxide—FTO).

Abstract:
Zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanostructures, such as nanorods, are generally viewed as leading studies of keen interest due to their significant application potential in many applied areas, primarily for the improvement of photovoltaic solar cells. The morphologies of nanorods are linked to the seed layer (SL) optimization. As a result, forming a high-quality ZnO thin film prior to the growth of nanorods is critical. The processing parameters used during the synthesis technique can influence the quality of the synthesized samples. This review article focuses on the outcomes of the process variables respon
