Abstract
This work presents the synthesis and characterization of two different solutions of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoporous and nanorod structured. Both are synthesized by electrodeposition technique by varying the effect of different duration of electrodeposition process and the effect of HMT presence in the solution. The crystallinity properties of the ZnO were affected by the duration of deposition which are 2000 s and 7000 s (without HMT) and 2000 s (with HMT). The structure of ZnO was successfully deposited and the peaks were obtained from the XRD results correspond to the ZnO with no other related peak were found for compound other than ZnO. The surface morphology obtained under FESEM clearly shows nanoporous structure (ZnO without HMT) and nanorod structure (ZnO with HMT). The UV testing proved that the result obtained for sensitivity shows great comparison between two different solutions. The increased level of sensitivity were due to the increase of time exposed to UV light. The improvement of time duration by using electrodeposition technique were increased based on the rise time and fall time. All of the combination results of the UV sensing is based on the performance sample deposited with ZnO.
