Nanostructures of semiconducting metal oxides have been extensively investigated in the past few years because of their technologically relevant characte have been the object of particu unique properties and ease of syn presents in fact a noteworthy chemical properties: a wide dir electric properties and a high chemical species. As a result, Z eld-emitting devices,1 piezogen tors (FETs),4,5 dye-sensitized sola light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and sensors.12–15 Nanorods (NRs) of using a variety of methods, inclu gas deposition, metal–organic ch ablation and wet chemical met have been receiving growing atte simple experimental apparatus, ZnO NRs, since it does not require any particular apparatus and
