Fabrication and Photo-Detecting Performance of 2D ZnO Inverse Opal Films

Two-dimensional (2D) ZnO inverse opal (IO) films were fabricated by co-assembly of sacrificed polystyrene (PS) microspheres and citric acid/zinc acetate (CA/ZA) aqueous solution at an oil–water interface followed by calcination. Their morphologies could be controlled by the surface property of polymer templates and CA/ZA molar ratio. Moreover, photo-detecting devices based on such films were constructed, which showed high photocurrent (up to 4.6 μA), excellent spectral selectivity, and reversible response to optical switch.
