Abstract:
ZnO nanorods growth has been performed by using hydrothermal method at a temperature
of 90°C for 8 hours on the surface of Fluorine Tin Oxide (FTO). The effect of Gallium (Ga)
atom varied by 1%; 1.5%; 2%; 3% with boron (B) atom 1% on the growth of ZnO nanorods
was investigated. The samples were characterized by using Field Emission Scanning
Microscope (FESEM) to analyze the morphology of the Ga-B growth doped ZnO nanorods.
FESEM images showed that the Ga-B doped ZnO nanorod grown on the surface of the FTO
has hexagonal face shape and diameter varied in the range 87-400 nm. The addition of Ga
atoms resulted ZnO nanorods diameter size became uniform. The cross sectional FESEM of
the sampel showed that the increasing of Ga atom, then ZnO nanorods were formed shorter
and coresponding to have skew.
