This paper contains a review describing the various potential applications of ZnO nanorods in many different devices such as light emitters (light emitting diodes and lasers) and detectors (on single nanorod or nanorods matrices), photovoltaic cells (dye-sensitized, perovskite-based, thin film, organic and silicon solar cells), photocatalytic applications, field emitters, field effect transistors, chemical and biological sensors, and electric nanogenerators. The review describes state of art in this field from more than twenty years perspective, presenting problems and challenges to be solved.
