摘要：

Vertically aligned Cu-ZnO nanorod arrays were grown using thermal deposition method. Optimum Cu-ZnO and morphology tailoring effect was investigated. Enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity (0.92 +/- 0.2 mA/cm(2)) and high photon conversion efficiency (PCE) (0.3490 +/- 0.2%) was observed for 5 wt% Cu-ZnO. Cu optimum dopant with ZnO lattice is a promising PEC candidate for water splitting applications. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
