Abstract

In this work, we report fast and efficient synthesis of ZnO-NWs in-situ within microfluidic chamber taking all the advantages of microfluidic devices. The growth done in dynamic mode involving flow of the growth solution inside the microchamber. Well-oriented ZnO-NWs are achieved in just 8-16 minutes in dynamic mode having similar properties to the synthesized NWs in 2-3 hours growth time using the static method. The morphology and optical properties of the ZnONWs characterized using SEM and UV-Vis spectroscopy. This method opens the door for fast, cheap and localized growth of NWs to be used within microfluidics platforms.
