AbstractMn doped ZnO nanorods were prepared by chemical precipitation method. The micro-structural and structural properties of the nanorods were calculated from the X-ray diffraction technique. The formed nanorods was seen in the scanning electron microscopy. The purity of the sample was confirmed by the energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The optical properties were studied using UV-Vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence. In the photoluminescence spectrum, the peaks due to recombination of free electrons, oxygen vacancy and intrinsic defects were observed. The magnetic properties were studied using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and the paramagnetic nature of the material was confirmed.

In this study, copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures were successfully prepared by adding EG (ethylene glycol) and PEG (4000, 8000) (polyethylene glycol) via an in-situ chemical precipitation method. EG and PEG (4000, 8000) were effective for changing the particular size of CuO and we examined the effects of drying type such as freeze drying, muffle and horizontal furnace on the size of CuO nanostructure. The structure, morphology and elemental analysis of CuO nanostructure were analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Also, the CuO nanostructures showed excellent electrical conductivity by the changing of PEG’s molecular weight and drying processes.

In this work, firstly we described the effect of freeze drying on modification of raw diatomite. And then, modified diatomite-leaf-like copper oxide (CuO) nanosheet composite was successfully prepared by surfactant-free in-situ chemical precipitation method. The structure, morphology and elemental analysis of CuO nanosheets and its composite were analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). Dimensions of leaf-like CuO nanosheets were approximately determined as 160 nm in width, 320 nm in length and 20 nm in thickness. According to the EDAX spectrum, leaf-like CuO nanosheets composed of Cu and O atoms without any impurity and also uniformly covered the entire surface of modified diatomite.

La doped ZnO nanorods were synthesized via solvothermal technique using Zn(AC)2 and La(NO3)3 as starting materials. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) equipped with an energy dispersion X–ray (EDX) spectrometer, photoluminescence spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results of XRD in combination with EDS indicated that La was successful doped in ZnO. The obtained La doped ZnO sample exhibited nanorod like morphology and the diameter was about 30 nm. The photocatalytic property of La doped ZnO was evaluated by the variation of the concentration of RhB.

In present study, undoped ZnO, Zn0.8Ag0.2O, Zn0.8Al0.2O and Zn0.6Al0.2Ag0.2O samples are synthesized by simple solution method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and UV-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy are used to perform the characterization of undoped, doped and codoped samples. XRD analysis is exposed that hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structure obtained for undoped, doped and codoped samples without any extra representation of impurity phases. The crystalline size is when evaluated by using Scherrer, It has 44, 49, 41and 37nm for undoped ZnO, Zn0.8Ag0.2O, Zn0.8Al0.2O and Zn0.6Al0.2Ag0.2O samples. Similarly, the crystalline size and strain are also evaluated by Williamson hall (W-H) and size strain plot (SSP) for the undoped, doped and codoped nanoparticles. The evaluated crystalline size by SSP is three times greater than the result of the scherrer method. The SEM exposes that surface morphology of nanoparticle samples, in this case is the formation of large agglomeration in spherical shape with nanocrystallites of undoped and doped ZnO with apparent and definite boundaries. EDX points out the replacement of Al2+ and Ag+ with Zn2+ in ZnO matrix and consequences in the development of single-phase Zn1−x−yAgxAlyO. The blueshift is shown in UV-Vis absorption spectra because the band gap value increases with the increase in doping, except Ag+ doped ZnO nanoparticles.

Pure and Fe -doped ZnO nanorod bundles were synthesized in aqueous solution at low temperature, in which inexpensive reagents such as Zn ( NO 3)2, NaOH and Fe ( NO 3)3 were used as precursors. The composition of the final product can be roughly tuned by the precursor ratio used. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirms the successful incorporation of Fe element into ZnO nanorods, and X-ray diffraction reveals that ZnO nanorod bundles have a pure hexagonal wurtzite-phase structure. UV–vis spectroscopy show that the spectrum shifts to longer wavelength with increasing iron doping.

The present study compares the photocatalytic decolorization ability of bare Mn-doped ZnO and montmorillonite modified Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles towards aqueous solution of organic dyes (methylene blue and malachite green) under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, electron spin resonance, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Comparison of degradation efficiency demonstrated that montmorillonite modified Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles exhibited higher activity than bare Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles.

The present investigation, the successful preparation of pure ZnO (Z1) NPs and SrBa dual doped ZnO (Z2) NPs by chemical co-precipitation technique without use of any capping agent. The structural and morphological properties of Z1 and Z2 NPs were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Elemental analysis (EDAX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). An optical property was studied by UV–Vis spectroscopy and Photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The antimicrobial activity of Z1 and Z2 NPs has been investigated against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterial strains. It has been interestingly observed that Z2 NPs has enhanced the inhibitory activity than that of Z1 NPs against S. aureus and more efficiently than the K. pneumoniae bacterial strain.

Abstract FexZn1-xO (x = 0, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1 M) nanoparticles based photocatalysts were synthesized by a chemical precipitation method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray emission (EDX) and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The photocatalytic efficiency of FexZn1-xO catalysts was assessed under visible light irradiation using the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) dye in aqueous solution. The present investigation shows that the effect of optimized parameters (pH, catalyst dosage and initial dye concentration) and doping concentrations plays significant role in photocatalytic activity. The detailed photocatalytic mechanism for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity has also been proposed.

The selenium-doped ZnO nanomaterial has successfully grown the surface of FTO (Fluorine Tin Oxide) using a seed-mediated hydrothermal method at a temperature of 90°C for 5 hours. In this research, the doping selenium by variation the volume of selenium solution at 0 mL, 0.025 mL dan 0.2 mL. This is an impact on the optical properties and morphology of ZnO nanorods. The samples were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The UV-Vis spectra showed that strong absorption occurs in the wavelength range of 300-380 nm. The 0.025 mL Se doped ZnO was the highest absorption compared to other samples. The XRD pattern exhibited five peaks at an angle of 2θ: 31.70 °; 34.4 °; 36.2 °; and 47.5 °. representing the orientation of the crystal planes (100), (002), (101), and (102) of hexagonal lattice. The FESEM images showed that Se doped ZnO with hexagonal face shape. The 0.2 mL Se doped ZnO was the most uniform compared to other samples.
