In this work, we reported the preparation of F-doped ZnO nanoparticles by facile precipitation process using zinc nitrate and ammonium fluoride as starting precursors for Zn and F, respectively dissolved in deionized water. The precursor solution was prepared at various fluoride composition ranging from 1-5 wt%. The as-precipitated powders were calcined at different temperature from 500 °C to 700 °C for 2 h. Effect of calcination temperature and fluoride concentration on structural, morphologies, optical and electrical properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, respectively. XRD results indicated the complete formation of hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO. SEM micrographs showed the agglomeration for each sample that noticeably influenced by fluoride content.

In through concoction co-precipitation strategy using ferric nitrate, zinc nitrate and sodium hydroxide in fluid arrangements, orchestrate and portrayal of Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles were prepared in the present work. X-beam diffraction has confirmed the growth of Fe doped ZnO from the precursor. This result has revealed that nanoparticles have integrated excellent crystalline forces in nature. SEM investigations show that ZnO nanoparticles have been doped by the round and minimally agglomerated Fe. Room temperature powerless ferromagnetism, distinctive in the appealing characteristics of Fe doped ZnO powderKeywords in relation to room temperature: zinc oxide, SEM, chemical precipitation, XRD, VSM

AbstractUndoped and Fe doped ZnO films of different molarities deposited by spray pyrolysis method using zinc nitrate and ferric chloride as precursors show polycrystalline nature and hexagonal wurtzite structure. Crystallite size decreases with an increase in dopant concentration from 0 at.% to 3 at.%. Doping improves the transmission of the films whereas it reduces the optical band gap of ZnO from 3.28 eV to 3.17 eV. The morphology resembles flake-like structures which collapse when the dopant is introduced. The samples are found to be sensitive to CO2 gas. Undoped ZnO shows maximum sensitivity at 350 °C for higher concentration of CO2. Doped samples show maximum sensitivity at 200 °C for all CO2 concentrations i.e. from 500 ppm to 4000 ppm. Maximum sensitivity is achieved at temperatures 350 °C, 250 °C, 300 °C and 450 °C for the samples prepared using precursor solution of 0.1 M molarity.

Abstract Yttrium-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method to investigate structural, optical and antibacterial properties. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms hexagonal (wurtzite) structure with average crystallite size between 16 and 30 nm. Optical energy band gap decreaseswith increasing Y-doping concentration. ZnO nanoparticles were found to be highly effective against S. aureus and Y-doped ZnO nanoparticles against E. coli, B. subtilis and S. typhi. Undoped and Y-doped ZnO nanoparticles are good inorganic antimicrobial agents and can be synthesized by cost effective co-precipitation method.

AbstractStrenuous efforts have been employed to prepare zinc oxide (ZnO) with eco-friendly methods; however, few studies have reported the fabrication of ZnO using a sustainable procedure. In this study, spherical ZnO nanoparticles were successfully fabricated for photocatalysis applications using a simple and eco-friendly method using an arabinose sugar solution. The ZnO nanoparticles with a wurtzite structure were obtained by combining zinc nitrate and arabinose in water, followed by heating, evaporation, and calcinations at different annealing temperatures. The annealed ZnO photocatalysts were characterised via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The findings revealed a hexagonal wurtzite structure and good crystallinity with crystallite size increasing from 18 to 31 nm by means of an increase in the annealing temperature. The photocatalytic performance was examined to determine the degradation of mix dye waste. The spherical ZnO nanoparticles showed mix pollutant degradation of 84 % in 25 min at 400 °C.

Pure and cobalt-doped ZnO nanoparticles (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 atom % Co) are synthesized by sol–gel method. The as-synthesized nanoparticles are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis. The nanoparticles of 0, 2.5, and 5 atom % Co-doped ZnO exhibited hexagonal wurtzite structure and have no other phases. Moreover, the (101) diffraction peaks position of Co-doped ZnO shift toward a smaller value of diffraction angle compared with pure ZnO powders. The results confirm that Co ions were well incorporated into ZnO crystal lattice. Simultaneously, Co doping also inhibited the growth of particles, and the crystallite size decreased from 43.11 nm to 36.63 nm with the increase in doping concentration from 0 to 10 atom %. The values of the optical band gap of all Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles gradually decreased from 3.09 eV to 2.66 eV with increasing Co content. Particular, the dielectric constant of all Co-doped ZnO ceramics gradually increased from 1.62 × 103 to 20.52 × 103, and the dielectric loss decreased from 2.36 to 1.28 when Co content increased from 0 to 10 atom %.
