Well-aligned ZnO nanoneedle and nanorod arrays were grown on an aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) buffer layer by chemical vapor deposition and used as templates for making gold-coated ZnO (ZnO/Au) composite nanoarrays. The coverage of Au nanoparticles on ZnO nanoneedle and nanorod was controlled by v...
