Aluminium (Al)-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays have been synthesized on a glass substrate, where the seed layer is Al-doped ZnO thin film as well, using the sonicated sol–gel immersion method. The nanorods structure was synthesized by preparing a solution 0.0026 M of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn (NO3)2·6H2O, 98%, Systerm) as a precursor, 0.1 M hexamethylenetetramine (HMT, C6H12N4, 99%, Aldrich) as a stabilizer and 0.001M aluminum nitrate nonahydrate (Al (NO3)3∙9H2O, 98%, Analar) as a dopant, dissolved in deionized (DI) water. The resistivity is 7626.72 Ωcm and the conductivity is 1.31 x 10-4 Scm-1. The peak of UV emission of the sample is at 380 nm.

In this research, we prepared aluminium (Al)-doped ZnO nanorod arrays on the glass substrate using sonicated sol-gel method. These nanorod arrays were annealed at 500 °C in air and oxygen environment using thermal furnace. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) image reveals that nanorod arrays were deposited vertically aligned on the substrate. The stress characteristics of air-annealed and oxygen-annealed Al-doped ZnO nanorod arrays were investigated using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement. The electrical properties of the samples were investigated using two-probe current-voltage (I-V) measurement system. The results show that annealing atmospheres greatly influenced the stress and electrical properties of the nanorod arrays.

Fabrication and performance of metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM)–type intrinsic zinc oxide-coated, aluminium-doped ZnO nanorod array-based ultraviolet photoconductive sensors were reported and discussed. The Al-doped ZnO nanorod arrays were prepared using sonicated sol-gel immersion method. The coating process of intrinsic ZnO onto Al-doped ZnO nanorod arrays was performed using radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at different deposition times varying from 0 to 10 min. We observed that responsivity of the sensors decreased with increasing intrinsic ZnO deposition time, decreasing from 4.81 A/W without coating to 1.37 A/W after 10 min of coating. Interestingly, the sensitivity of the sensors improved with intrinsic ZnO coating, having a maximum value of 19.0 after 1 min coating.

The Sn-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on glass and ITO by sol gel Spin Coating technique. The Structural and electrical properties of Sn-doped ZnO thin films were studied and discussed. The Sn-doped ZnO thin film particle sizes were decreased whenever the doping concentration increased. Besides that, the resistivity 7.7 x 102 Ω.cm was obtained at 2 at.% Sn-doped thin films and aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with large surface area were grown on 2 at.% Sn-doped ZnO film. Therefore, dye sensitized solar cell at 2.0 at.% Sn-doped ZnO thin films with aligned ZnO Nanorod arrays have improved in the photocurrent density and conversion efficiency.
