Dimensional tailoring of hydrothermally grown zinc oxide nanostructures in a continuous flow micro reactor

Abstract

Dynamic deposition of ZnO nanostructures with varying morphologies (nanorods, nanocones, nanopencils, nanosheets, etc.), diameters, lengths and aerial densities on ITO-PET substrates has been achieved using a continuous flow microreactor in which we maintained a homeostatic zinc concentration and varied the other reactants’ concentrations.
