These nanostructures are prepared by hydrothermal growth, which is an effective and versatile method to obtain ZnO NCs of high optical and electrical quality at low temperature.Combining this 3D concept with randomly textured interfaces, rigorous 3D optical simulations based on the finite element method predict that photocurrents significantly higher than those obtained with state-of-the-art substrates (up to 20 mA cm−2) are within reach, if the experimental obstacles specific for 3D design are overcome.
