A photoanode with Ga-doped ZnO nanorods has been prepared on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) coated glass substrate and its application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has been investigated. Gadoped ZnO nanorods have been synthesized by an electric-field-assisted wet chemical approach at 80 ̊C. Under a direct current electric field, the nanorods predominantly grow on cathodes. The results of the X-ray ...

Spintronics aims at developing a new generation of electronic materials for consumer products based on electron spin rather than on electron charge. Its main objective is the fabrication of new devices based on semiconductor materials with magnetic behavior (so called diluted magnetic semiconductors). These devices combine the manipulation of electrons as classically known in semiconductor devi...

Visible light-emitting Ce-doped ZnO nanorods [NRs] without a post thermal annealing process were grown by hydrothermal method on a Si (100) substrate at a low temperature of 90°C. The structural investigations of Ce-doped ZnO NRs showed that the Ce3+ ions were successfully incorporated into the ZnO lattice sites without forming unwanted Ce-related compounds or precipitates. The optical investig...

A simple and versatile approach has been developed to synthesize multi-walled carbon nanotubes/metal-doped ZnO nanohybrid materials (MWNT/M-doped ZnO) by means of the co-deposition method. The experimental results illuminate that MWNTs can be modified by metal-doped ZnO nanoparticles at 450 °C, such as Mn, Mg, and Co elements. Furthermore, the MWNT/Mg-doped ZnO hybrids have been proven to have ...

Abstract This experiment addressed the effect of Nickel-doped on dielectric, ac conductivity, and optical properties pure doped Zn (1−x) Ni x O (x = 0, 3 6%) nanostructures. The un-doped Ni-doped ZnO nanostructures were synthesized using co-precipitation. In this paper, frequency-dependent dielectric electrical conductivity examined at various temperatures ranging from 320 K to 460 an LCR meter...

For colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), shape control and doping as two widely applied strategies are crucial for enhancing and manipulating their functional properties. Here we report a facile and green synthetic approach for high-quality colloidal Mn doped ZnO NCs with simultaneous control over composition, shape and optical properties. Specifically, the shape of doped ZnO NCs can be ...

We developed a novel approach to synthesize phosphorus (P)-doped ZnO nanowires by directly decomposing zinc phosphate powder. The samples were demonstrated to be P-doped ZnO nanowires by using scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectrum, Raman spectra and photoluminescence...

Recent efforts on doping ZnO films for charge and spin functionality are reviewed, focusing on chemical doping for charge and spin device formation. Discussion includes the behavior of phosphorus as an acceptor and magnetism in transition metal-doped ZnO. Evidence for p-type behavior in phosphorus-doped (Zn,Mg)O grown by pulsed laser deposition is presented. The magnetic properties of ZnO co-do...
