Abstract

CdS decorated ZnO nanorods have been grown by a combination of hydrothermal method and successive ion layer absorption and reaction (SILAR) method. Optical absorption and emission properties of ZnO nanorods have been studied after sensitization with CdS nanoparticles. Current-voltage characteristics of ZnO nanorods and CdS sensitized ZnO nanorods have been studied in an electrochemical cell. The spectral dependent photocurrent and photopotential behaviors of ZnO nanorods and CdS sensitized ZnO nanorods have been investigated using monochromatic light of wavelength 300-700 nm. The photopotential recovery time have been estimated for CdS sensitized nanorods and pristine nanorods.
