Abstract

ZnO with cube-like nanostructures have been fabricated on tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates via electrochemical deposition method. The electrolytes used containing equimolar of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and potassium chloride (KCl) ranging from 0.05M to 0.2M. The samples produced subsequently were examined by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), x-ray diffractometer (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and current transient profile. The average size of the cube-like nano ZnO materials, as observed from FESEM images is decreased from 207nm to 102nm with increasing of electrolytes concentration. The XRD measurement indicated that the as-deposited nanostructures are converted from amorphous to hexagonal wurtzite ZnO phase after heat treatment at 600°C for 3hours. Photoresponse measurement revealed that the grown sample is sensitive to the 372nm ultraviolet (UV) light.
