Abstract

En 中文

• Mg-doped transparent conductive oxides ZnO nanorods were synthesized via two-step electrochemical deposition on ITO. • Mg incorporation induces lattice contraction, microstrain, and reduced crystallinity. • Nanorod diameter decreases systematically with Mg content due to modified growth kinetics. • Enhanced optical transparency and an increased band gap from 3.30 to 3.39 eV achieved through magnesium doping. • PL analysis reveals enhanced defect-related emission associated with strain and disorder. • DFT (TB-mBJ) calculations confirm bandgap widening and improved visible transmittance.
