ZnO was prepared using room temperature bipolar electrochemical process in deionized water. Electron microscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction, and micro‐Raman spectroscopy showed crystallization of the material into the wurtzite hexagonal structure of ZnO, self‐organized in micro‐sized flower‐like shapes that are formed out of individual nanorods preferentially grown along the <0thinmathspace0thinmathspace0thinmathspace1> direction. The intrinsic electronic properties were evaluated by potentiodynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using Mott–Schottky analysis of semiconductor/liquid junctions. Because the flat band and carrier density are frequency‐dependent, we used an approximation based on fractional order capacitance fitting, and subsequently three different ways to calculate the frequency‐independent effective capacitance of the system. The capacitance computed using the four parameters of single‐dispersion Randle's model, i.e., pseudocapacitance, dispersion coefficient, and series and parallel resistances, is more recommended for the characterization of the electrochemical system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
