Investigation of the Etching Time and NaOH Concentration Effects on the Optoelectronic Properties of ZnO Nanorods | Chapter 5 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 7

 Due to its unique qualities such as low reaction temperature, simplicity of scaling up, inexpensive, and simple synthesis, ZnO-based nanostructures, one-dimensional ones (nanorods), have gotten a lot of interest. In this paper, we describe the hydrothermal production of ZnO nanorods as well as the kinetics of their chemical etching at various NaOH concentrations. The description was accurate.

X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, and photoluminescence were used. As a result, the research looks into the impact of etching time and concentration on optoelectronic properties. We discovered that all etching conditions cause significant proportional changes in the materials photonics because they primarily modify the surface and introduce flaws. As a result, optoelectronic devices benefit from this research.
