FABRICATION OF ZnO NANORODS BY ELECTROCHEMICAL DEPOSITION PROCESS AND ITS PHOTOVOLTAIC PROPERTIES

In this article, ZnO nanorod arrays were successfully prepared on the indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) by electrochemical deposition process in solution of 0.0015M Zn nitrate (Zn (NO₃)₂·6H₂O) and 0.028M methenamine (C₆H₁₂N₄). Morphology of ZnO nanorods were affected by growth condition such as to control current density. The fabricated ZnO nanorods were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). And the photovoltaic properties of the ZnO nanorods were evaluated using 1.5 solar simulator.
