Abstract
Well-crystallized ZnO nanowires have been successfully synthesized on NiCl2-coated Si substrates via a carbon thermal reduction deposition process. The pre-deposited Ni nanoparticles by dipping the substrates into NiCl2 solution can promote the formation of ZnO nuclei. The as-synthesized nanowires were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The results demonstrate that the as-fabricated nanowires with about 60 nm in diameter and several tens of micrometers in length are preferentially arranged along [0001] direction with (0002) as the dominate surface. Room temperature PL spectrum illustrates that the ZnO nanowires exist a UV emission peak and a green emission peak, and the peak centers locate at 387 and 510 nm. Finally, the growth mechanism of the nanowires is briefly discussed.
