ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1039/c2jm31270k | Abstract: | CuInS 2 (CIS) was deposited on ZnO nanowires by a chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP) method, resulting in an ultra-thin, conformal CIS coating on ZnO forming ZnO-CIS core-shell structures. A high-resolution transmission electron microscope and elemental mapping showed the excellent quality of the coating, while Raman spectroscopy revealed the purity of the materials after core-shell formation. A significant enhancement in band-edge emission of ZnO after CIS coating (also lower defect emissions) was observed, which is due to the peculiar band alignment of the ZnO-CIS combination. Further, the electrical behaviour of the single nanowire ZnO-CIS diode was studied, demonstrating the excellent interface between CIS and ZnO. This technique provides tremendous potential for the fabrication of low-cost nano-electronic devices. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry. | Source Title: | Journal of Materials Chemistry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/98508 | ISSN: | 09599428 | DOI: | 10.1039/c2jm31270k |
