Robust Nanogenerator Based on Vertically Aligned ZnO Nanorods Using Copper Substrate

We report the growth of well-aligned ZnO nanorods that were successfully synthesized on copper (Cu) substrate by using a simple hydrothermal method at low temperature leading to a robust large area nanogenerator (NG) based on cost effective Cu electrode which could enable energy harvest from the wal...
