A simple and economical route based on a ZnCl2 mediated process was developed to synthesize hierarchical flower-like ZnO micro/nanoflakes on the surface of copper foil by 2 stages electrodeposition method (2M ZnCl2 – 0.5M ZnCl2). The prepared flakes were characterized by XRD and SEM. The morphology...
