Abstract
Transparent ZnO nanorod (NR) films that exhibit extreme wetting states (eithersuperhydrophilicity or superhydrophobicity through surface chemical modification), hightransmittance, UV protection and antireflection have been prepared via the facile ammoniahydrothermal method. The periodic 1D ZnO NR arrays showed extreme wetting states aswell as antireflection properties due to their unique surface structure and prevented theUVA region from penetrating the substrate due to the unique material property of ZnO.Because of the simple, time-efficient and low temperature preparation process,ZnO NR films with useful functionalities are promising for fabrication of highlylight transmissive, antireflective, UV protective, antifogging and self-cleaningoptical materials to be used for optical devices and photovoltaic energy devices.
