A series of Te-related arrays have been achieved on ITO by a ZnO nanorod templating-reaction method under different etching conditions.
By controlling the structure of the ZnO–CdTe nanocables, such as shell thickness, and the diameter and length of ZnO nanorods, size controllable Te nanotube arrays and Te nanorods-on-CdTe nanotube arrays should be obtained, which can be used for numerous nanodevice applications, such as gas sensors, field-effect devices, infrared acoustooptic deflectors and solar cells.
