Abstract:
ZnO nanorod coatings has been successfully grown on glass slide substrates
using a combination of SILAR and CBD method. In this study, the ZnO
nanorod coating samples are analyzed for their optical absorption and surface
morphology using UV-Vis Spectroscopy and FESEM. The results of the UVVis
test shows that the absorption peak of the ZnO coating samples occurred in
the ultraviolet wavelength range. The results of the FESEM analysis shows
that the geometric shape of the ZnO layer is nanorod with a hexagonal cross
section. ZnO nanorod coating samples has the potential to be apply as a selfcleaning
material, photocatalyst or solar cell.
