Undoped Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles as well as ZnO nanoparticles doped with Magnesium (Mg) were synthesized by wet chemical precipitation method using Zinc acetate and Magnesium acetate in Ethylene glycol and distilled water medium. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD patterns show the pattern of typical ZnO nanoparticles and correspond with st...

in this research zinc oxide (zno) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. the zno nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis), fourier transform infra-red (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectroscopy. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using xrd pattern. the c...

We present a systematic study of the effect of variation of the zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) layer thickness on the absorption characteristics of CIGS solar cells using a simulation program based on finite element method (FEM). We show that the absorption in the CIGS layer does not decrease monotonically with its layer thickness due to interference effects. Erg...

The hexagonal zinc oxide coated nickel (Ni/ZnO) nanostructure photocatalyst has successfully been prepared by the reduction of nickel chloride hexahydrate using hydrazine hydrate through the solvothermal process at 140 °C followed by surface modification of the product by the reflux method at 110 °C for 1 h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that the 'as prepared' sample consists of fa...

RF magnetron sputtering is used on the ceramic targets, each of which contains zinc oxide (ZnO), zinc oxide doped with aluminum (AZO) and zinc oxide doped with gallium (GZO). The electric conduction mechanism of the AZO and GZO films came mainly from the Al and Ga, the oxygen vacancies, Zn interstitial atoms, and Al and/or Ga interstitial atoms. AZO and GZO films achieved higher conduction than...

nanotechnology researchers have identified a wide range of nanoparticle applications that may have an important role in medicine and treatment of diseases. due to lack of detailed documentation about the toxicology of zinc oxide (zno) nanoparticles, this study was aimed to evaluate the absorption of zno nanoparticles in hearts of female nmri mice. overall, 20 adult nmri female mice were studied...

The photocatalytic degradation of Evans Blue has been studied under visible light in the presence of N-doped ZnO as a photocatalyst. N-doped ZnO was prepared by the solvent free method. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO and N-doped ZnO was compared by investigating the photodegradation of Evans Blue dye under visible light. The effect of different parameters like pH, concentration of the Dye, ...

An optical-fiber based evanescent ammonia vapor sensor was constructed with surface-passivated growth of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures, which was achieved through a three-step wet chemical process. Initially, the ZnO nanostructures were synthesized using a wet-chemical method and subsequently surface-passivated with chalcogenide material compounds namely cadmium sulphide (CdS) and cadmium sel...

in this work, zno/sio2 nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method, and platinum particles were loaded on zno/sio2 nanoparticles by photoreductive method. samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). the xrd patterns showed that the zinc oxide samples have a wurtzite structure (hexagonal phase...
