▎ 摘　　要

Highly ordered and vertically aligned ZnO nanorods using an inverted self-assembled monolayer (SAM) template was fabricated via the hydrothermal process, and few-layer graphene was transferred on the surface of the ZnO nanorod arrays with 20 nm Au nanospheres coverage on the graphene surface. The band edge emission of the ZnO nanorods/graphene hybrid structures with Au nanospheres was increased by approximately three times and the defect-related emission was significantly reduced compared with the pristine ZnO nanorods arrays. The improved PL intensity can be attributed to the resonant coupling between the exciton emission of ZnO nanorods and plasmonic effects of graphene-Au structures. Our results will be promising for designing and fabricating ordered ZnO nanorod-based optical and optoelectronic devices.
