Abstract

Honeycomb-shaped and ordered arrays of nanopore AAO template with a uniform pores size was produced utilizing a two-step an anodization process. Highly ordered SnO2 nanorods arrays have been selectively fabricated via a convenient (immerse and filtration) technique and (vacuum and drop) setting using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) as a hard template. The morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. The optical characterizations were examined by UV-VIS and Photoluminescence (PL). Scanning microscopy images indicate that the SnO2 nanorods are relatively uniform with the outer diameter matching well with the pore diameter. XRD and EDX indicated that these polycrystalline SnO2 nanostructures with well-defined composition were obtained.
