Abstract
ZnO/CuO semiconducting nanocomposites have been prepared by stepwise hydrothermal method on porous 3D nickel substrate. The flower shaped p-typed CuO nanoflakes were successfully grown on the tips of n-type ZnO hexagonal rods. The material was characterized by scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was employed to determine the band gape and overlapping band region of the composite material. The as grown ZnO/CuO semiconducting nanocomposite was further analyzed for I-V behavior under UV light, which has shown the production of 0.016 A current at around 0.8 V potential difference.
