An oriented hierarchical ZnO flower-rod arrays (FRs) were prepared on indium doped tin oxide (ITO) glass using a facile solution-based method assisted with ZnO seed layer.
A hierarchical double-layered TiO2 flower-rod structure composed of three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 flowers and one-dimensional (1D) nanorods on transparent fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conducting glass has been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method.
The performance of the CdSe/CdS/TiO2 flower-rod solar cell can achieve a short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 13.46 mA cm−2, and a open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.42 V, with a maximum power conversion efficiency of 2.31% under one sun illumination (AM 1.5 G, 100 mW cm−2), which is greatly higher than that of CdSe/CdS/TiO2 nanorod solar cell (1.63%).
Morphological studies revealed that the gelator molecules self-assemble into different aggregates from dot, flower, belt, rod, and lamella, to wrinkle with change of solvents.
In addition, as seen in Figure 4, the SEM images of xerogels from TC18-Lu gels showed diverse micro-/nanomorphologies, such as dot, flower, belt, rod, lamella, and wrinkle.
Scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope observations revealed that the gelator molecules self-assemble into different micro/nanoscale aggregates from a dot, flower, belt, rod, and lamella to wrinkle with change of solvents.
This will enable the leaf stem to wrap around the flower stem (rod).
This 6th century stele shows a flower, V-rod and lunar crescent to which has been added a later and somewhat crude cross.
The EMW methods were applied in the case of Ce0.5Sm0.5O2 composition and enlightened different aspects of the rational design of its morphology (flower-like, rod-shaped, random aggregates), as well as the engineering of its oxygen vacant sites.
The spherical, triangle, rod, flower, and cap nanosilvers have been used as SERS substrates [17, 18].
Her subsequent volumes included Hymen (1921), Heliodora and Other Poems (1924), Red Roses for Bronze (1931), and a trilogy comprising The Walls Do Not Fall (1944), Tribute to the Angels (1945), and Flowering of the Rod (1946).
