Abstract


The arrays of nanorods of zinc oxide on the template of anodized aluminum oxide have been fabricated by electrochemical decomposition of molecular oxygen in the presence of Zn2+. The template was prepared by anodizing Al foil and Al films deposited in vacuum in oxalic acid. The formation of nanorods was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The X-ray phase analysis and Auger electron spectroscopy data have confirmed that the structure and composition of the nanorods correspond with those of zinc oxide.
