New and improved electrochemical synthetic approaches have been developed to improve the photoelectrochemical performance of ZnO nanorods by homogenous and gradient doping of copper. The ZnO, Cu-doped ZnO, ZnO Cu-doped ZnO homojunction and also Cu gradient doped ZnO photoanodes were electro-synthesi...
