Abstract EN
ZnO nanowires (or nanorods) have been widely studied due to their unique material properties and remarkable performance in electronics, optics, and photonics.
Recently, photocatalytic applications of ZnO nanowires are of increased interest in environmental protection applications.
This paper presents a review of the current research of ZnO nanowires (or nanorods) with special focus on photocatalysis.
We have reviewed the semiconducting photocatalysts and discussed a variety of synthesis methods of ZnO nanowires and their corresponding effectiveness in photocatalysis.
We have also presented the characterization of ZnO nanowires from the literature and from our own measurements.
Finally, a wide range of uses of ZnO nanowires in various applications is highlighted in this paper.
