Abstract
We report on how to tune the density of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire arrays in a wide range (more than 5 orders of magnitude) in a low temperature (80 °C) solution-phase growth process. A model based on the coexistence of nanowire growth and etching of the ultrathin (3.5 nm), the variation is very narrow, and if it is too thin (<1.5 nm), no nanowires can grow. In addition, the density variation was accompanied by the change of both diameter and height of the nanowires, which leads to a change in aspect ratio. Both changes in density and aspect ratio were found to obviously affect the field emission characteristics. It was demonstrated that optimal conditions can be found to grow ZnO nanowire films with better field emission characteristics.
