We report the rational synthesis design and characterization of defect free growth of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire arrays on ITO substrate for hydrogen generation through photoelectrochemical water splitting. In comparison to ZnO nanowires synthesized by using conventional hydrothermal method, the ZnO nanowires synthesized by special design in which substrate is suspended upside down in the Teflon autoclave show significantly improved photocurrent in the entire potential window. Moreover, ZnO nanowires synthesized by special design have low photocurrent saturation potentials as compared to ZnO nanowires synthesized by using conventional hydrothermal method indicating very efficient charge separation and transportation. These results suggest ample potential of defect free ZnO nanowire arrays in PEC water splitting applications..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
