A Facile and Flexible Approach for Large-Scale Fabrication of ZnO Nanowire Film and Its Photocatalytic Applications.

ABSTRACT: A novel strategy for large-scale synthesis of ZnO nanowire film is reported, which inherits the advantages of the solution-phase method and seeded growth process, such as low-temperature, efficient, economical, facile and flexible. It is easy to implement on various metals through room-temperature electrodeposition, followed by hydrothermal treatment at 90 °C, and suitable for industrialized production. The ZnO nanowires with an average wire diameter about 40 nm are in situ grown from and on nanocrystalline zinc coating, which forms a strong metallurgical bonding with the substrates. The p-type ZnO nanowire film has a well-preferred orientation along the (100) direction and a wurtzite structure, thereby displaying an effective photocatalytic capability for carcinogenic Cr6+ ions and CO2 gr
