Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) were synthesized using vapor phase transport (VPT) and thermal evaporation of Zn from CuZn. Time dependence of ZnO NWs growth was investigated for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes. Significant changes were observed from the field electron scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images as well as from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile. The photoluminescence (PL) profile was attributed to the contribution of oxygen vacancy, zinc interstitials, and hydrogen defects in the ZnO NWs. Raman scattering results show a significant peak at 143 cm−1and possible functionalization on the wall of ZnO NWs. Growth of ZnO NWs in (0002) with an estimated distance between adjacent lattice planes 0.26 nm was determined from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis.

ABSTRACTEasily available spin coating and vapor phase transport deposition techniques offer tremendous possibilities in fabricating inorganic/organic heterojunctions. We present here preliminary results from different thin film growth mechanisms including: i) PEDOT:PSS/Zn-nanowires/SiO2, ii) Zn-nanowires/PEDOT:PSS/SiO2, and iii) ZnO-nanowires/PEDOT:PSS/SiO2. The preliminary scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy results show that Zn nanowires bond better to the non-annealed PEDOT:PSS thin films. It was also found that ZnO nanowires grow homogeneously on annealed PEDOT:PSS surfaces with colloidal Au nanoparticles as bonding reaction catalysts.

High crystalline ZnO nanorods (NRs) on Zn pre-deposited graphene/Cu sheet without graphene transfer process have been fabricated by self-catalyzed vapor-phase transport synthesis. Here, the pre-deposited Zn metal on graphene not only serves as a seed to grow the ZnO NRs, but also passivates the graphene underneath. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra of the fabricated ZnO NRs reveal a dominant peak of 3.88 eV at 10 K associated with the neutral-donor bound exciton, while the redshifted peak by bandgap shrinkage with temperature and electron-lattice interactions leads a strong emission at 382 nm at room temperature. The optical absorption of the ZnO NRs/graphene hetero-nanostructure at this ultraviolet (UV) emission is then theoretically analyzed to quantify the absorption amount depending on the ZnO NR distribution. By simply covering the ZnO NR/graphene/Cu structure with the graphene/glass as a top electrode, it is observed that the current-voltage characteristic of the ZnO NR/graphene hetero-nanojunction device exhibits a photocurrent of 1.03 mA at 3 V under a light illumination of 100 μW/cm2. In particular, the suggested graphene/ZnO NRs/graphene hybrid-nanostructure-based devices reveal comparable photocurrents at a bidirectional bias, which can be a promising platform to integrate 1D and 2D nanomaterials without complex patterning process for UV device applications.
