A fluorine-mediated hydrothermal method to synthesize mesoporous rhombic ZnO nanorod arrays and their gas sensor application†
Abstract
A facile fluorine-mediated hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize mesoporous rhombic ZnO nanorod arrays. Fluorine ions play an essential role in the growth process. The novel ZnO nanorod array based gas sensor showed high performance for ethanol detection.
