In the present work, we have introduced Mg doped ZnO nanorods based photoanodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting applications. Vertically aligned Mg doped ZnO nanorods were fabricated by sol-gel and hydrothermal technique. The as-prepared nanorod samples exhibited hexagonal wurtzite structur...
