Abstract

In this paper, we report a new ZnO nanofibers-nanorods structure which was successfully prepared by the electrospun ZnO nanofibers as seed to guide hydrothermal epitaxial growth of the ZnO nanorods. The structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL). The XRD results indicate that ZnO nanofibers obtained at 600° have high crystallinity with a typical hexagonal wurtzite structure. Furthermore compared with the strongest diffraction of ZnO nanofibers in (101) plane, the diffraction from (002) plane of ZnO nanofibers-nanorods becomes the strongest. The SEM shows that the diameters of epitaxial-grown ZnO nanorods on ZnO nanofibers were approximately 100–200 nm. The PL spectrum shows that the ZnO nanofibers-nanorods have a broad green-yellow emission around 537 nm, in contrast to that of ZnO nanofibers, the peak had obvious redshift about 24 nm and the luminous intensity weakened.
