Metal-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays have attracted much attention due to improvement in their electrical, structural, and optical properties upon doping. In this chapter, we discuss the effects of aluminum (Al)and iron (Fe)-doping on ZnO nanorod arrays properties particularly for humidity sensor applications. Compared to Fe, Al shows more promising characteristics as doping element for ...

novel nano-catalysts (nano zno and fe doped zno (fe(0.1)zn(0.99)o) synthesized by co-precipitation method in aqueous solution as new nanocatalysts and characterized by common techniques as ftir, xrd, sem and uvd. the size of particles obtained from xrd data is 27 and 16 nanometers for zno and fresno respectively. influences of doped fe on zno catalytic properties in oxidation of benzylic alcoho...

The influence of the grain boundary (GB) specific area s GB on the appearance of ferromagnetism in Fe-doped ZnO has been analysed. A review of numerous research contributions from the literature on the origin of the ferromagnetic behaviour of Fe-doped ZnO is given. An empirical correlation has been found that the value of the specific grain boundary area s GB is the main factor controlling such...

Zinc oxide and Ga-doped ZnO nanowires and nanorods are synthesized on various substrate like Fluorine doped tin oxide glass plate, SiO2 coated Silicon substrate and aluminum nitride coated silicon substrates. The coating process carried out using zinc oxide sol-gel solution. The synthesized material was characterized using XRD (X-ray diffraction), FE-SEM (Field emission scanning electron micros...

ZnO and 2% Fe doped ZnO photocatalytic nanomaterials were successfully synthesized by successive ionic layer adsorption and the reaction (SILAR) method. The characterizations of these nanomaterials were carried out using XRD, SEM and EDX techniques. XRD study shows that the samples have a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure, size of which is in the range 21-23 nm. SEM shows nanoflakes or nano ...

N-doped ZnO/g-C3N4 composites have been successfully prepared via a facile and cost-effective sol-gel method. The nanocomposites were systematically characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, HRTEM, FT-IR, XPS, and UV-vis DRS. The results indicated that compared with the pure N-doped ZnO, the absorption edge of binary N-doped ZnO/g-C3N4 shifted to a lower energy with increasing the visible-light absorption ...

We demonstrate structural and room temperature magnetic properties of Fe doped ZnO nanofibers (NFs) obtained by electrospinning followed by calcination. The observed NFs, formed from crystalographically oriented, approximately 4.5 nm particles conglomerates, were approximately 200 nm in diameter. The reported synthesis of room temperature ferromagnetic Fe doped ZnO NFs is both facile and econom...

The ability to produce high-quality single-phase diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is the driving factor to study DMS for spintronics applications. Fe-doped ZnO was synthesized by using a low-temperature co-precipitation technique producing Zn 1-x Fe x O nanoparticles (x= 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.1). Structural, Raman, density functional calculations, and magnetic studies have been ...
