Abstract. In this article we present the fabrication and characterization of the nanoporous ZnO and/or ZnO/CdS thin films onto indium doped-tin oxide (ITO) substrates, based on the thermal evaporation technique followed by thermal treatment. The preparation method was relatively simple and low-cost for large scale uniform coating to produce clean, dense and strong adhesion to substrate thin films. The nanostructured ZnO and ZnO/CdS thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The nanostructured ZnO/CdS bilayer film was used in a photo-electrochemical (PEC) cell as a working electrode and a Pt net as a counter electrode. The results show that the photovoltaic cell with nanostructured ZnO/CdS bilayer film electrode has significantly improved photoelectric capability in comparison with that of ZnO electrode.

“…The hexagonally arranged nanowire array of GaN grown in the VLS process (step f in Figure 1.43) was also reported [4]. The AAO template-assisted electrochemical deposition was used for the preparation of PbS [607], CdS [608][609][610] and Se [611] nanowires. Semiconductor InN nanowires were fabricated by the electrodeposition of indium into pores of anodic porous alumina, followed by a direct reaction of indium with ammonia at 550-700 C [612].…”

“…The AAO templates were fabricated by anodizing an Al foil in 0.3M oxalic acid at 40 V for 25 minutes; phosphoric acid was used for pore opening. [18] In a typical experiment to form nanowire arrays in the pores of an AAO template, 0.3 M cobalt chloride CoCl 2 Á6H 2 O (LR/Resource) and 0.6 M sodium borohydride NaBH 4 (Fluka) solutions were prepared in deionized (DI) water. First, CoCl 2 Á6H 2 O solution was infiltrated into the pores of the AAO template by vacuum-assisted infiltration followed by the addition of NaBH 4 solution.…”

A template-assisted assembly technique combined with a chemical synthesis approach has been used to produce high density magnetic cobalt nanowire arrays. Cobalt nanowires were formed using chemical synthesis techniques, by borohydride reduction of cobalt salt in the pores of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates; the samples were annealed in order to achieve nanowires with hcp crystal structure. The morphology and the crystal structure were controlled by the template geometry and annealing conditions, respectively. Magnetic property measurements showed the influence of morphology and crystal structure on the magnetic properties of the arrays.
