Sparse ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) are fabricated on transparent conducting oxide coated glass substrates by using a modified liquid phase epitaxial growth method. By adjusting the polymer concentrations and the spin-coating parameters, full infiltration of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) into the as-pr...
