Novel zinc oxide nanoferns produced using DC non-catalytic oxidation of pure zinc metal
Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are promising material for optoelectronic devices, light emitting diodes, nanolasers, solar cells and nanogenerators. Thus, much effort has been directed to the study of different ZnO nanostructures. This research investigates the structure and crystallinity of novel nanoferns produced using direct current oxidation of pure zinc metal without the use of catalyst. The growth mechanism for the formation of nanoferns is discussed. Scanning Electron Microscope and X-Ray Diffraction were used for the characterization.
