Abstract Silver-doped zinc oxide nanostructures (Ag/ZnO NSs) with Ag content of 0 wt%, 5 10 and 20 wt% were synthesized using a hydrothermal technique. The prepared annealed at 500 °C for 2 h. samples characterized by scanning electron microscopy, FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrical conductivity. FTIR spectra confirms the presence hydrogen-related shallow donor defects in Ag/ZnO NSs, whic...

In this study, laser-assisted chemical bath synthesis (LACBS) was used to prepare pure and Ag-doped ZnO submicron structures using a simplified hydrothermal approach that did not require catalyst. The photocatalytic degradation of Methylene Blue investigated under blue laser irradiation (? = 444.5 nm I 8000 lx). doping concentration varied (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, tando 10%) prepared by LACBS continuou...

Efficient solar driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) response by enhancing charge separation has attracted great interest in the hydrogen generation application. The formation of one-dimensional ZnO nanorod structure without bundling is essential for high efficiency in PEC response. In this present research work, ZnO nanorod with an average 500 nm in length and average diameter of about 75 nm was ...

This paper presents the growth and structure of ZnO nanorods on a sub-micrometer glass pipette and their application as an intracellular selective ion sensor. Highly oriented, vertical and aligned ZnO nanorods were grown on the tip of a borosilicate glass capillary (0.7 µm in diameter) by the low temperature aqueous chemical growth (ACG) technique. The relatively large surface-to-volume ratio o...

By sputtering a layer of 40 nm Ag film on ZnO microrods prepared by the aqueous solution method, we observed photoluminescence enhancement from ZnO microrods coated with Ag nanoparticles, comparing with pure ZnO microrods. The ratio of the enhancement, in particular, reaches 6.6 at 396 nm. The enhancement mechanism is attributed to the special distribution of the silver nanoparticle film, which...

Ag@ZnO/BiOCl composites were successfully prepared by in situ precipitation and hydrothermal synthesis used for the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride antibiotics. An enhanced photodegradation efficiency was detected after loading Ag nanoparticles, which is attributed to surface plasmon resonance effect. The optimized sample containing 4% showed 80.4% 80 min, 2.1 1.9 times...

1, 3, and 5 wt.% silver-doped ZnO (SZO) nanowires (NWs) are grown by hot-walled pulsed laser deposition. After silver-doping process, SZO NWs show some change behaviors, including structural, electrical, and optical properties. In case of structural property, the primary growth plane of SZO NWs is switched from (002) to (103) plane, and the electrical properties of SZO NWs are variously measure...

ZnO and hybrid of ZnO/Ag structures in the nanometer size were electroless deposited on Mg-Ca0.3 alloy surface, achieved from aqueous solutions (10?3 M at 21 °C) (suspension), Zn(NO3)2 AgNO3. The surface characterization deposits was carried out by Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-Ray Photoelectron (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-Visible Rama...

Removing organic pollutants, textile dyes, and pharmaceutical wastes from the water bodies has become an essential requirement for a safe environment. Therefore, present study aimed to prepare semiconductor zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) plasmonic Ag-supported ZnO nanocomposite (ZnO–Ag) using environmentally friendly bio-approach as alternative hazardous synthesis approaches. NPs ZnO–Ag wer...
