In the current research, Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles are produced by ultrasonic waves and the effect of nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) doping on their optical and structural characteristics are investigated. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms extension of peaks and formation of Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles. Absorption spectra for the produced samples are shown that addition of DNA/RNA affects the spectrum and absorption edge shifts towards blue region which is due to reduction of nanoparticle size and it confirms by SEM images. In addition, SEM images show the formation of approximately single size ellipsoidal nanostructures for pure Cadmium Oxide (CdO). However, the size, form and distribution of nanoparticles are varied after doping. On the other hand, in the current paper, Cadmium Oxide (CdO) and DNA/RNA/Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanostructures thin layers are produced using spray pyrolysis technique over a glassy substrate. Annealing of CdO thin layer for half an hour in the air leads to improvement of crystalline structure. Optical characteristics and crystalline structure of samples are studied through X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The results of the current study were shown that CdO thin layers are of hexagonal structure. Further, optical gaff of CdO/DNA/RNA/glass thin layer is increased compared to CdO/glass layer.

Abstract In this study, the pure and Cu doped CdO thin films with various doping concentrations (0 to 5 at.%) were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates, using the chemical spray pyrolysis technique. The effects of Cu doping on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of thin films were, then, investigated. The films were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive x-ray analyzer (FESEM-EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and electrical resistance; van der Pauw techniques were also used to measure the Hall effect. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the thin films were polycrystalline only with cadmium oxide phase with the cubic face-centered crystal structure and the preferred orientations were along (111), (200), (220), (311), and (311) planes. The FE-SEM and AFM images also showed that with an increase in Cu doping levels, the grain size and surface roughness of the thin films decreased from 472 to 38 nm and from 163 to 54 nm, respectively. The expected element compositions were confirmed by EDX. The optical bandgap of the thin films ranged from 2.42 to 2.56 eV, and as Cu dopant increased, so, too, the optical bandgap. As the Cu doping concentration increased from 0 to 5 (at.%), the electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient were found to increase from 3.74⋅10− 4 to 8.77⋅10− 3 Ω.cm and 8.28⋅10− 6 to 2.52⋅10− 5 v/k (at 100 Co temperature difference), respectively; the carrier concentration and carrier mobility were also found to decrease from 3.24⋅1020 to 1.76⋅1020 cm− 3 and from 55.5 to 4.05 cm2/v.s, respectively. The Hall effect and thermoelectric studies revealed that the films exhibited an n-type conductivity.

The deposition of Ni–Fe thin layers in boric acid and ionic liquid ([BuMePyr][Tf2N]) baths were successfully prepared. The obtained materials have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and SEM. Meanwhile, these materials were carried out by chronoamperometry or chronopotentiometry by varying the intensity of the current and the deposition potential. The results indicate that the coatings of Ni–Fe alloys were successfully obtained by electroplating on the copper substrates, and the alloys composition shows irregular behavior with polarization. The nickel content in the samples is in the range of 55–90%, but the iron content ranges from 10–30%, when potential deposits were varied from [Formula: see text]2[Formula: see text]V to [Formula: see text]4[Formula: see text]V vs Ni electrode. The results also showed that the thin layers are monophased; they contain the Ni3Fe phase. Further, SEM images of Ni–Fe alloys show the different shapes of particles.

ZnO and Zn1-xCdxO thin films have been deposited onto glass substrate using spray pyrolysis at 200°C. Cadmium-zinc alloy thin films have been prepared by taking different concentrations of cadmium (Cd). The elemental analysis and the surface morphology of the films were carried by the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The EDX data show that the films are highly stoichiometric. The SEM images show that the film changes from nano fiber to grain with the increase of Cd concentrations. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the films are polycrystalline in nature. The crystal structure of the films changes from hexagonal-ZnO to cubic-CdO depending on the concentration of Zn and Cd in the Zn1-xCdxO films. The optical properties of these films were studied by UV-VIS spectroscopy. The optical band gap of the films was changed from 3.2 to 2.4 with the variation of cadmium.

Hollow spherical CaMoO4:Eu3+, Li+red phosphors have been successfully synthesized by spray pyrolysis method. The crystalline phase, morphology and luminescent properties of the obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence emission spectra (PL). The XRD results demonstrated that all the diffraction peaks of the samples can be well indexed to the tetragonal phase of CaMoO4. The SEM images showed that the particles were composed of hollow spheres, whose diameters are about 1.4 μm. The as-prepared CaMoO4:Eu3+, Li+hollow spheres show a strong red emission corresponding to the5D0-7F2transition of the Eu3+ ions under ultraviolet light.

In this work Zinc oxide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. A set of ZnO thin films were deposited with various deposition times, on glass substrate at 350 °C. The precursor solution is formed with zinc acetate in distilled methanol with 0.1 molarity. The deposition time was ranged from 2 to 8 min. The structural and optical properties of those films were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV). X-ray diffraction patterns of the ZnO thin films showed polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure and the preferred orientation was along (002) plane when the grain size varied between 9.66 and 16.67nm. ZnO thin films were highly transparent in the visible with the maximum transmittance of 85% and the optical band gap was found between 3.25 and 3.28 eV.

Nanostructured SnO2 thin films were deposited on glass substrate using chemical spray pyrolysis technique. Three influent synthesis parameters, namely (i) the precursor concentration (0.2M and 0.5M), (ii) the substrate temperature (250°C and 350°C) and (iii) doping with zinc (Zn) were investigated in term of their effects on the morphology and structure of SnO2 thin films. These films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) techniques. The grain size of the films was observed to increase as the concentration of the precursors is increased. Substrate temperature is proved to be crucial in determining the crystallinity of the films as the films are reported to grow at temperature above 270°C. Besides, the addition of dopant was found to reduce the grain size of the film.

Abstract Thin films of physical--mixture of Hausmannite Mn3O4 and lithium (Li) are synthesized by spray pyrolysis technique. Structural, morphological, optical, electrical, wettability and photocatalytic properties have been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and electrical measurements show that Li nanoparticles are formed both on top surface of the film and inside grain boundaries. Bandgap and Urbach energies and optical relaxation time have been determined from transmittance T and reflectance R spectra. Impedance spectroscopy shows that charge separation increases with Li content, which improves photocatalytic efficiency of the film. The best photocatalytic efficiency is obtained for Li/Mn ratio of 15%. Indeed, the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under ultraviolet (UV) and visible light exposure, is improved by a factor of 5.7 and 2.4 respectively, when compared to undoped Mn3O4. In addition, this film exhibits a high photostability (10 cycles consecutively) under solar light. On the other hand, hydrophobicity reveals the hydrophilic character of the films.

Cadmium oxide (CdO) and potassium (K) doped CdO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method and were used as photocatalysts for the degradation of Eosin B dye. The X-ray diffraction results presented that the crystallite size of undoped CdO and K doped CdO NPs were 43.74 and 42.31 nm, respectively. The morphological study and percent composition of synthesized undoped CdO and K doped CdO NPs was done by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The formation of NPs was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The precursor decomposition to CdO after annealing at ∼500 °C was studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The undoped CdO and K doped CdO nanoparticles degraded about 80% and 90% of the dye, respectively, in 140 min. The maximum degradation efficiency of the dye was achieved at a pH of 4, dye initial concentration of 15 ppm, catalyst dose of 20 mg, and a temperature of 45 °C. The degradation efficiency observed for recovered undoped CdO and recovered doped CdO nanoparticles was found to be 63% and 77%, respectively.
