Templated electrodeposition of single-crystal ZnO nanorods

It is demonstrated that by electrochemically controlling the local pH within a membrane zinc oxide nanorods may be fabricated. Single-crystal ZnO nanorods were obtained when growth was performed at 90 °C using the reduction of nitrate as the electrochemical source of hydroxide.
