Fabrication of field-effect transistors and functional nanogenerators using hydrothermally grown ZnO nanowires

Abstract

We demonstrate single crystalline ZnO nanowire (NW) production using hydrothermal process. Single NW field-effect transistors (FETs) and functional piezoelectric nanogenerators (NGs) are demonstrated by thermal annealing of the NWs in air at ~450 °C.
