Morphology and Luminecent property of ZnO:Zn nanorod films prepared by thermal vapor deposition method

ZnO:Zn films have been deposited on the glass substrates using thermal vapor deposition method. Different morphologies such as ZnO slice, pillar and nanorod have been derived. The relationship between photoluminescence and morphology has been studied. Photocatalytic activity has been performed to validate that defects play an important role in the photoluminescence process.
