Abstract:
A ZnO nanowire array was successfully synthesized within 10 minutes, for the first time, through electrodeposition of a Zn nanocrystal coating followed by a microwave hydrothermal treatment, representing the cheapest and fastest route from aqueous solutions so far. This simple, economical, efficient, flexible and scalable method shows attractive prospects for industrial application.
