Abstract
Direct templating with lyotropic liquid crystalline phases of nonionic surfactants has now been extended to fabricate mesoporous crystalline oxide semiconductors. ZnO and Cu2O films have been prepared on ITO-covered glass substrates by electrochemical deposition from lyotropic liquid crystalline phases with polyoxyethylene surfactant. The templates and the films are characterized by polarized-light optical microscopy (POM), low-angle and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV−vis light absorption spectroscopy.
