Abstract

One-dimensional semiconductive oxide nanomaterials such as nanowires or nanorods have focused much attention due to their multifunctionality in the field of nanoelectronics and photoelectronics, photocatalysis, gas sensing, piezoelectricity or thin film transistors for transparent and flexible electronics. Transition-metals doped zinc oxide is generating much interest also for the novel magnetic properties so called “dilute magnetic semiconductors” and are envisioned to be potential building blocks for spintronic devices. Solution-phase chemical synthesis of the nanomaterials have several important advantages, as high versatility, low cost, simple equipments and handling, in additon to the ecological benefits. Chemical bath deposition (CBD) methods is one of the most used methods for growing crystallized oxides nanostructures from aqueous solution at temperatures below 100o C. In this paper we present some results on the CBD synthesis and characterization of ZnO-based 1D nanostructures..
