INORGANIC NANORODS AND A METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME, AND A PHOTOELECTRODE AND A PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE COMPRISING THE INORGANIC NANORODS

摘要

According to embodiments of the present invention, a method of forming inorganic nanorods on an inorganic metal oxide substrate is provided. The method includes: exposing the inorganic metal oxide substrate to a plasma at suitable conditions, wherein the plasma includes one or more precursor materials suitable for forming the inorganic nanorods on the inorganic metal oxide substrate at the given reaction conditions.
