Abstract

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) ZnO film as seed layer for growing aligned ZnO nanorods arrays is demonstrated. The effects of the deposition temperature and film thickness to the morphology of the ZnO nanorods are studied. The ALD is found to have its advantage over the conventional dip-coating method when being applied to three-dimensional (3D) substrates, as exemplified by the macroporous Si adn CNT arrays. As one example, the CNT-ZnO 3D hybrid nanostructures are obtained which might be useful for energy-related applications.
