Facile solution growth of vertically aligned ZnO nanorods sensitized with aqueous CdS and CdSe quantum dots for photovoltaic applications

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Vertically aligned single crystalline ZnO nanorod arrays, approximately 3 &#956;m in length and 50-450 nm in diameter are grown by a simple solution approach on a Zn foil substrate. CdS and CdSe colloidal quantum dots are assembled onto ZnO nanorods array usi...
