Fabrication and characterisation of nanostructured zinc oxide thin films incorporated with nanorod array-based solar cells / Mohd Firdaus Malek

In this research, several types of solar cells have been successfully fabricated using zinc oxide-based nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and ZnObased nanorod arrays (ZnO NRAs). Both of ZnO NPs and ZnO NRAs were synthesised via novel dual sonication sol-gel immersion process. In this work, ZnO NRAs were grown...
