"Growth of arrayed nanorods and
nanowires of ZnO from aqueous solutions,"

Abstract:
"A novel approach to the rational fabrication of smart and functional
metal oxide particulate thin films and coatings is demonstrated on the growth
of ZnO nanowires and oriented nanorod arrays. The synthesis involves a
template-less and surfactant-free aqueous method, which enables the generation
of, at large-scale, low-cost, and moderate temperatures, advanced metal oxide
thin films with controlled complexity. The strategy consists of monitoring of
the nucleation, growth, and aging processes by means of chemical and
electrostatic control of the interfacial free energy. It enables the control
of the size of nano-, mess-, and microcrystallites, their surface morphology,
orientations onto various substrates, and crystal structures."
