By synthesizing zinc oxide nanowires of different lengths, the relationship between surface morphology and electrochemical performance was studied, with the finding that increasing the length of the nanowires contributes to a decrease in electrochemical performance. A new strategy combining nanowires and microsheets was proposed to improve the morphology for enhanced electrochemical performance.
The purpose of this paper is to bridge the gap between ZnO surface morphology and its electrochemical performance. For this reason, ZnO nanowires (NWs) of different length were synthesized using an electrochemical method. Then, the electrochemical performance of the synthesized ZnO surfaces was studied using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical analysis results revealed that the increase of ZnO NW length contributes to the retrogression of electrochemical performance. Indeed, the electrochemical performance is mainly related to the wettability behavior of the ZnO nanowire surfaces. When the ZnO NWs length increases, the surface become more hydrophobic, therefore, charge transfers between the electrode/electrolyte decrease. To improve the electrochemical performance of ZnO, we propose a new strategy combining NWs and microsheets (mu Ss) for further improving the morphology. Finally, the surfaces based on the double structure of ZnO provide good propagation of charge at the surface, good transfer in the electrode, good stability, and excellent scanning ability. In the present work we intend to pave the way for achieving high electrochemical performance ZnO-based layers.
