Surfactant-Assisted in situ Chemical Etching for the General Synthesis of ZnO Nanotubes Array

Surfactant-Assisted in situ Chemical Etching for the General Synthesis of ZnO Nanotubes Array

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In this paper, a general low-cost and substrate-independent chemical etching strategy is demonstrated for the synthesis of ZnO nanotubes array. During the chemical etching, the nanotubes array inherits many features from the preformed nanorods array, such as the...
