Nanostructured ZnO Arrays with Self‐ZnO Layer Created Using Simple Electrostatic Layer‐by‐Layer Assembly

Formation of unique ZnO nanoarrays utilizing photodynamic polymer, surface‐relief grating structures, and unique electrostatic layer‐by‐layer assembly as a simple and economical methodology was demonstrated. Atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy‐dispersive X‐ray (EDAX) analysis were employed to characterize elemental composition and morphology of the resulting ZnO nanostructures with self‐ZnO layer. Optical behavior of the final product was studied by UV‐vis‐NIR absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra.
