Nanostructured Zinc Oxide: Fabrication, Characterization, and Electromechanical Properties for Piezoelectric Applications.
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods have shown great potential in various applications such as gas sensing, photocatalysis, and piezoelectric nanogenerators. Thus, it is crucial to investigate the growth orientation, morphology and properties of ZnO nanostructures for aformentioned applications. The work focused on the nanoscale domain imaging and the electromechanical response of ZnO nanorod arrays synthesized process involved the use of a simple and low-cost hydrothermal method on different substrates, followed by the fabrication and characterization of optimized ZnO nanostructured on printed microcontact electrode.
