Abstract

We study the structural and functional characteristics of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures that are grown on carbon nanotube (CNT) constructs via step-wise chemical vapor deposition (CVD). First, we optimize the CVD process to directly grow ZnO nanostructures on CNTs by controlling the growth temperature below $600^{\circ}C$, where CNTs can be sustained in a ZnO-growing oxidative atmosphere. We then investigate how the morphology and areal density of ZnO nanostructures evolve depending on process parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and gas feeding composition, while focusing on the effect of underlying CNT topology on ZnO nucleation and growth. Because various types of ZnO nanostructures, including nanowires, nanorods, nanoplates, and polycrystalline nanocrystals, can be conformally formed on highly conductive CNT platforms, this electrically addressable three-dimensional hybrid nanoarchitecture may better meet a wide range of nanoelectronic application-specific needs.

본 논문에서는 순차적 화학기상증착법에 기반하여 다양한 구조적 특성을 갖는 산화아연 나노구조체를 탄소나노튜브 상에 3 차원 혼성구조로 형성하는 공정을 개발하고 그 형성 메커니즘을 논한다. 이어서 나노와이어, 나노로드, 나노플레이트, 다결정 나노박막 등 다양한 형상의 산화아연 나노구조를 온도, 압력, 개스유량 등 주요 파라미터들의 조절을 통해 형성할 수 있음을 보이며, 이의 형성 원리에 대해 기본적인 형성 메커니즘과 연계하여 고찰한다. 본 연구 결과를 통해, 압전 및 광전 에너지변환 특성 등 풍부한 기능성을 보유하되 다소 높은 전기저항을 갖는 산화아연 나노구조체를 다양한 포맷으로 양전도성의 탄소나노튜브와 혼성화 함으로써, 각각의 포맷 별로 특화된 보다 폭넓은 응용 분야로의 활용을 구현해 나갈 수 있을 것이다.
