Abstract

A chemically specific and facile method for growth of ZnO nanorods on WS₂ nanotubes (NT-WS₂) is reported. The modification strategy is based on the chalcophilic affinity of Zn, which serves as an anchor to immobilize ZnO colloids onto the WS₂ nanotubes. The surface bound ZnO colloids have been used as a seed to grow ZnO nanorods on WS₂ nanotubes. The immobilization of ZnO colloids was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy whereas the growth of ZnO nanorods was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
