Effect of the Nature of the Template on the Structure and Properties of Electrodeposited Vertically Aligned Submicron ZnO Rods

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

The results of spectral (UV–vis), morphological (XRD, SEM), and current–voltage investigations of a nanostructured layer of ZnO electrodeposited on the surface of an ITO electrode are presented. The possibility of using tetraalkylammonium hydroxides (TAAH) as organic templates as an alternative to widely used templates such as eosin Y or coumarin was demonstrated for the first time. It was established that the spectral and electrophysical characteristics of the nanostructured ZnO layers synthesized in the presence of eosin Y and TAAH are close, which confirms the suitability of TAAH as template.
