A ZnO nanorods present great potential for application in optical, sensing and piezoelectric devices; thanks to their nanometric diameter and large surface area.In some of these applications a probing current must flow directly through the nanorods, requiring each nanorod to be directly connected to two electrodes.To attain this architecture a few solutions have been proposed in the past, mostly involving the use of complex and time-consuming procedures, but the large-scale production of such devices represents still a major challenge.We present here a new all-solution approach that allows the fabrication of extensive selfassembled, bi-dimensional networks of ZnO nanorods.Such networks can be easily produced…
