Preparation, Characterization and Photocatalytic Activity of Ag-Cd-ZnO and Ag-Cu-ZnO Nanostructures

In this study, ZnO nanopowders and ZnO doped with metals (Cu , Ag- doped ZnO) and (Cd, Ag- doped ZnO) were synthesized by the sol-gel method in order to investigation on the codoping effect on the band gap and photocatalytic activity of ZnO. The synthesized samples are characterized by IR spectroscopy technique. Moreover, the absorption coefficients of the ZnO, Ag-Cd-ZnO and Ag-Cu-ZnO were anal...

Synthesis and characterization of doped and undoped ZnO nanostructures.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been produced using precipitation methods from ethanolic solution. Rare-earth metal doping was performed, and the effect of lithium codoping on the luminescence properties of the rare-earth doped products was assessed. The resulting particles were characterized using cathodoluminescence and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that lithium significantly...

Electrochemical Preparation and Characterization of Mn5O8 Nanostructures

Electrochemical synthesis followed by heat-treatment is a facile and easy method for preparation of nanostructured metal oxides. Herein we report nanostructured Mn5O8 prepared through pulse cathodic deposition followed by heat-treatment for the first time. For the preparation of Mn5O8 nanorods, pulse cathodic electrodeposition was first done from 0.005M Mn(NO3)2 at the current density of 5 mA c...
