Application Research and Progress of 0D, 1D and 2D ZnO Nanomaterials

Abstract

ZnO as a wide band gap semiconductor not only has excellent optoelectronic properties, but also contains rich 0D, 1D and 2D nanostructures.Based on the 0D, 1D and 2D ZnO nanomaterials, the research progress of main optoelectronic device application, including photocatalysis, gas detectors, solar cells, photodetectors, light emitting diodes, lasers, piezoelectric devices and resistive random access memory was narrated synthetically in this paper.The differences of three dimensions in optoelectronic application of ZnO nanomaterial were laterally comparatively analyzed, and the advantages of different dimensions in the optoelectronic devices were summarized, finally, the problems in the application of zinc oxide nanomaterials were also prospected, such as the difficulty to achieve p-type doping.
