Abstract

The aim of our study consisted in obtaining ZnO nanorods using a photonic crystal (PC) structure as substrate. For obtaining of such structures, a PC presenting with electroconductive properties was chosen. Thus, the first step was represented by the synthesis of a copper nanoparticles shell composed by a maximum of seven layers of inorganic particle. This core–shell structure was subsequently used for the generation of ZnO nanorods by electrochemical deposition. The obtained materials were characterized by SEM, dynamic light scattering, UV–Vis, and X-ray powder diffraction analysis.
