研究目的
Investigating the in-situ growth of CdS nanoparticles on ZnO nanorods surfaces using pulsed laser irradiation for potential applications in nanostructured solar cells and other devices.
研究成果
The laser-based technique is effective for the in-situ growth of CdS nanoparticles on ZnO nanorods, offering a simple, scalable method for fabricating nanostructured solar cells. The technique allows for control over the morphology and coverage of the CdS layer, with potential for passivating surface defects on the ZnO nanorods.
研究不足
The technique's effectiveness depends on the laser fluence and number of shots, with potential for substrate damage at higher fluences. The presence of precursor residues and the thinness of the CdS layer may affect the quality of the heterostructures.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a pulsed Nd-YAG laser for the in-situ growth of CdS nanoparticles on ZnO nanorods submerged in an aqueous precursor solution.
