In this study, the ZnO nanorod arrays coated with different oxide shells (TiOx, MgO, SnO2, and Al2O3) were fabricated. We compared the effect of various kinds of oxide layer coating (TiOx, MgO, SnO2, and Al2O3) on the performance of ZnO based solar cells. The thickness of the oxide shell layer is determined by transmission electron microscopy. Different kinds of oxide layers had a significant effect on the photovoltaic performance. The effect of different shells on the properties and performance of ZnO based core/shell nanorod array photoanode is discussed. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
