Heavily nickel-doped zinc oxide nanostructures prepared by hydrothermal oxidation of electro-deposited alloy films and their photoluminescence properties

- Electrodeposited Zn-Ni films, hydrothermally oxidized to Ni-doped ZnO nanorods.
- Wurtzite ZnO without dopant's clusters or oxide phases.
- High crystalline quality.
- Decrease in rod/wire diameter by doping.
- UV photoluminescence, with control on visible emission by doping.
