▎ 摘　　要

In this study, graphene was added into the ZnO seed layer and spread on the substrate to tune the aspect ratio of ZnO nanorods (NRs) on SiO2 substrates, respectively. Compared with ZnO NRs with sol gel/hydrothermal growth in a normal condition, the aspect ratio of ZnO NRs could be enhanced by incorporating graphene into the seed layer. Furthermore, the c-axis crystallinity and hydrophobic properties could be strengthened, too. On the other hand, ZnO NRs grown on graphene/SiO2 substrate exhibited lower aspect ratio but stronger antibacterial capability. These graphene-incorporated ZnO NRs growth shows promise for future ZnO nanostructure-based applications.
