Superhydrophobic Behavior and Optical Properties of ZnO Film Fabricated by Hydrothermal Method

ZnO film with claviform structure was synthesized on quartz substrates through a hydrothermal method at 90℃. The microstructure of the film is composed of clusters of submicrometer rods, which therefore endues the film with good superhydrophobicity. Meanwhile, the film with such tanglesome structure...

Summary:ZnO film with claviform structure was synthesized on quartz substrates through a hydrothermal method at 90℃. The microstructure of the film is composed of clusters of submicrometer rods, which therefore endues the film with good superhydrophobicity. Meanwhile, the film with such tanglesome structure also shows highly crystalline quality testified by a strong ultra-violet (UV) emission and very low deep-level emission observed on the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum as well as high transparence of about 89% transmittance in visible light range.
