研究目的
Investigating the growth of zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) with a thickness of less than or equal to 1 μm through zinc acetate or zinc nitrate for perovskite solar cell applications.
研究成果
ZnO NRs with vertical alignment and wurtzite quality were successfully grown from both zinc acetate and zinc nitrate sources. The optimum growth times for PSC application were identified at t = 0 minutes for the ZA source and t = 15 minutes for the ZN source. The smallest crystallite sizes were 10.70 nm (ZA source) and 19.29 nm (ZN source), which are most suitable for PSC application.
研究不足
The study focused on the growth of ZnO NRs with thicknesses of less than or equal to 1 μm and their application in PSCs. The effects of other growth parameters or materials were not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a two-step method involving seed layer deposition and NR growth. The seed layer was applied via spin coating, and ZnO NRs were grown using chemical bath deposition (CBD) with a waterbath machine.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates were used as the base for ZnO NR growth.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a spin coater, waterbath machine, ultrasonic machine, and SEM and XRD machines. Materials included zinc acetate dehydrate, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, hexamethylene-tetramine (HMT), and FTO substrates.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The seed layer was spin-coated onto FTO substrates, followed by annealing. ZnO NRs were then grown using CBD at 85°C for varying times.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
SEM images and XRD profiles were analyzed to determine the morphological and crystallinity properties of the ZnO NRs, respectively. FWHM analysis was performed on the (002) ZnO peak to calculate crystallite sizes.
