Fabrication And Characterization Of Ultra Violet Photosensor Based On Single Zno Nanorod

Keywords

Nanosensor; Photosensor; UV; ZnO nanorod

Abstract

This article presents the fabrication and characterization of ultra violet (UV) photosensor, which utilizes the semiconducting properties of single ZnO nanorod. We report a study on the ZnO nanorods synthesized by an aqueous solution route in a hydrothermal reactor. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, optical and electrical studies. Our cost-effective synthesis method for ZnO nano/microrods permits easy transfer of sample and allows the study of fabrication of novel electronic nanodevices, such as gas and UV nanosensors. Our work is a starting point on the nanofabrication of optoelectronic nanodevices. It is anticipated to have a wide range of applications in space research, warning systems and accurate measurement of UV radiation.
