Abstract

Two- and three-dimensional ordered porous zinc oxide (ZnO) films were prepared by electrodeposition on Indium Tin Oxide coated glass, using two- and three-dimensional poly(styrene) opal templates. The oxide was formed by electrochemical reduction of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous zinc perchlorate solution. Scanning electron microscopy measurements showed well ordered inverse opal structures for macroporous ZnO. At high hydrogen peroxide concentration, dense inner conformal filling was achieved for 2D and 3D structures. The formation of nanocrystalline ZnO was checked by X-ray diffraction. A two dimensional ZnO macroporous network obtained by electrodeposition from zinc-hydrogen peroxide electrolyte. © 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
