Abstract

One-dimentional nanostructures in the form of nanorods, nanowires, nanofibers or nanotubes, appear as an exciting research area for their great potential of applications. Zinc oxide is an n-type semiconductor that has been well known for its applications in pigments, rubber additives, gas sensors, solar cells, varistors, and optical devices. In this aspect, many of the previous investigations on pure and doped zinc oxide prepared by different methods like precipitation, hydrothermal, microemulsion, ultrasonic, sol-gel, solid-state reaction. In this study, we report the synthesis of copper oxide decorated zinc oxide nanorods by microemulsion and solvotherrmal method. The results showed that the copper oxide were successfully grown on the zinc oxide nanorods substrates.
