We report an original fabrication process to form ZnO\/ZnGa2O4 core\u2013shell nanowire heterostructures in the framework of the wet chemistry techniques. The process involves the partial chemical conversion of ZnO nanowires grown via chemical bath deposition into ZnO\/ZnGa2O4 core\u2013shell nanowire heterostructures with a high interface quality following their immersion in an aqueous solution containing gallium nitrate heated at a low temperature. The double-step process describing the partial chemical conversion relies on successive dissolution and reaction mechanisms. The present finding offers the possibility to fabricate ZnO\/ZnGa2O4 core\u2013shell nanowire heterostructures at low temperatures and over a wide variety of substrates with a large surface area, which is attractive for nanostructured solar cells, deep-UV photodetectors, and piezoelectric devices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano14120991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]],"date-time":"2024-06-07T10:43:42Z","timestamp":1717757022000},"page":"991","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Chemical Bath Deposition of ZnO\/ZnGa2O4 Core\u2013Shell Nanowire Heterostructures Using Partial Chemical Conversion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Guislain","family":"Hector","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, LMGP, F-38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8517-535X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Estelle","family":"Appert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, LMGP, F-38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Herv\u00e9","family":"Roussel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, LMGP, F-38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Bujak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, LMGP, F-38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3779-445X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eirini","family":"Sarigiannidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, LMGP, F-38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0171-8746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Consonni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, LMGP, F-38000 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chen, M.-I., Singh, A.K., Chiang, J.-L., Horng, R.-H., and Wuu, D.-S.
