Enhanced visible photoluminescence in ZnO quantum dots by promotion of oxygen vacancy formation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the synthesis of ZnO quantum dots (QDs) rich in oxygen vacancies by inducing an oxygen deficient environment. The precise tunability of particle size is achieved by counter ion capping of the precursor used for synthesis. The prepared QDs show size tunable visible emission with high quantum yield.

Structural and Optical Characterization of ZnO-Graphene Nanocomposite Quantum Dots
In this research, zinc oxide quantum dots and graphene nanocomposites were synthesized via two different methods; In the first (direct) method, ZnO-graphene Nanocomposites were made mixing the synthesized zinc oxide and graphene. In the second (indirect) method, zinc nitrate, graphene, and sodium hydroxide were used to made ZnO-graphene Nanocomposites. XRD, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy analyses ...
متن کاملHigh temperature acidic oxidation of multiwalled Carbon nanotubes and synthesis of Graphene quantum dots
The acid oxidation of carbon nanotube generally results in opening the close ends of the nanotube and to make surface modifications. Herewith, Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were oxidized in acids at high temperature experimental conditions which led to the formation of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectro...
متن کاملOxygen vacancy induced band gap narrowing of ZnO nanostructures by an electrochemically active biofilm.
Band gap narrowing is important and advantageous for potential visible light photocatalytic applications involving metal oxide nanostructures. This paper reports a simple biogenic approach for the promotion of oxygen vacancies in pure zinc oxide (p-ZnO) nanostructures using an electrochemically active biofilm (EAB), which is different from traditional techniques for narrowing the band gap of na...

متن کاملOxygen vacancies and intense luminescence in manganese loaded Zno microflowers for visible light water splitting.
ZnO nanorods and Mn/ZnO microflowers with nano-sized petals exhibit singly ionized oxygen vacancies, V. This is strongly supported by a green photoluminescence emission at 2.22 eV and an EPR g value of 1.953, both of which are suppressed greatly after annealing in an oxygen atmosphere. A strong red emission observed during exposure to X-rays reveals the presence of F(+) centres as a consequence...
