Functional one, two, and three-dimensional ZnO structures by solvothermal processing

Crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) has been fabricated by solvothermal techniques under quite different temperature and pressure environment stretching from sub- to supercritical conditions. Among them, one-step processing of inorganic–inorganic hybrid ZnO structures based on ZnO substrate with attached ZnO nanocrystals has been challenged. Combination of doping ions was made to yield ZnO structures with luminescent properties of high potential for application in fast-decay devices. The room temperature decay of antimony, lithium (Sb, Li) codoped homoepitaxial films is reported.
