Several literature studies have defined the doping technique of ZnO with a Cd (transition metal) for photocatalysis applications. Despite this, properties and mechanism behind it never been completely explained. The present work outlines effect Cadmium ion on structural, optical, electrochemical impedance photocatalytic Cd-ZnO nanoparticles prepared via simple precipitation method. was characte...

The free H(2)xspa ligands [xspa = pspa, Clpspa, tspa or fspa where p = 3-(phenyl), Clp = 3-(2-chlorophenyl), t = 3-(2-thienyl), f = 3-(2-furyl) and spa = 2-sulfanylpropenoato], their Zn(II) complexes of formula [HQ](2)[Zn(xspa)(2)] (HQ = diisopropylammonium) and the Cd(II) equivalents were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and by IR, Raman and NMR ((1)H, (13)C) spectroscopy. X-Ra...

Non-toxic heavy metal, low-cost indium-free blue emissive quantum dots (QDs) are critical for the realization of self-emissive electroluminescent dot (ELQD) light-emitting diode (LED) displays. A facile and effective hybridization ZnO QDs with functionalized polyaromatic hydrocarbons (f-PAHs) to synthesize a very bright stable blue-light quantum-dot LED (QLED) using non-toxic quasi-type-II ZnO@...

In the present study, binary oxide (cadmium oxide [CdO])x (zinc oxide [ZnO])1-x nanoparticles (NPs) at different concentrations of precursor in calcination temperature were prepared using thermal treatment technique. Cadmium and zinc nitrates (source of cadmium and zinc) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (capping agent) have been used to prepare (CdO)x (ZnO)1-x NPs samples. The sample was characterized...

An efficient and stable quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) with double-sided metal oxide (MO) nanoparticle (NP) charge transport layers is fabricated by utilizing the solution-processed tungsten oxide (WO3) and zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs as the hole and electron transport layers, respectively. Except for the electrodes, all other layers are deposited by a simple spin-coating method. The resultin...

Abstract CdO-ZnO thin films with volume ratio of (Cd: Zn) (1: 0), (0.75: 0.25), (0.5: 0.5) and (0: 1) were prepared using the sol-gel spin coating method. The as-coated annealed at 550 °C for 1 h their structural optical properties investigated. From investigations, it was observed that ZnO phase is present in composites. crystallite size values decreased increasing Zn content, dislocation dens...

We report the calculated fundamental band gaps of wurtzite ternary alloys Zn1-xMxO (M = Mg, Cd) and the band offsets of the ZnO/Zn1-xMxO heterojunctions, these II-VI materials are important for electronics and optoelectronics. Our calculation is based on density functional theory within the linear muffin-tin orbital (LMTO) approach where the modified Becke-Johnson (MBJ) semi-local exchange is u...

Research work reports the synthesis method of nanocomposite ZnO/CuO/β-CD and it is characterized by X-ray diffraction UV-vis absorption spectra. Photocatalytic activity measured using organic dye Malachite Green (MG) as model pollutant. Dye degradation follow pseudo first order kinetics. Efficiency photocatalytic process percentage degradation. Rate constant band gap also calculated.

The laboratory implementation of grazing incidence in-plane X-ray diffraction, using an unmodified commercial diffractometer, is described. Low resolution, high intensity measurements are illustrated in the study of the in-plane lattice parameters and texture of a thin polycrystalline ZnO film on glass, the in-plane order in Cd arachidate Langmuir-Blodgett films, and the depth dependence of lat...
