Problems solved by technology

However, most of the above-mentioned methods use substrates that do not match the ZnO lattice, and the uprightness of the one-dimensional ZnO nanostructure is poor.
In order to ensure the verticality, some studies have used to deposit a layer of buffer layer on the substrate that is oriented and matched with the ZnO lattice, but the existence of these buffer layers often has an adverse effect on the application of ZnO nanostructures in the future.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing a ZnO nano-rod / nanotube array in a water solution. An array film can be applied in the aspects of ultraviolet lasing fluorescence, nano sensors, nanocrystal solar cells (including dye sensitization solar cells, inorganic ultrathin absorption layer solar cells and quantum-dot solar cells) and so on. The method comprises the following steps that: by adoption of the combination of the sol-gel spincoating method and the quick annealing technique, a (001) highly oriented solid or hollow ZnO seed layer film is deposited on various substrate surfaces; and the ZnO seed layer film is epitaxially grown in the zinc nitrate water solution, and then the highly oriented ZnO nano-rod / nanotube array film is obtained. The method can realize single-particle distribution of a seed layer and single-crystal growth of a nano-rod on a substrate, and can realize epitaxial growth of the ZnO nano-rod / nanotube and control of the shapes such as the diameter, the length and so on of the ZnO nano-rod / nanotube through control of the concentration, the compositions and the pH value of a growth solution and the growth time.
