Synthesis and Characterization of Pure and Copper-doped Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 9, No 2 (2020) pp. 08-14
Abstract
In this work, the zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using both biological and chemical techniques. Pure and Cu-doped Zinc oxide nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method associated with microwave irradiation method; they were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDAX and UV techniques. The X-ray diffraction pattern analysis revealed the crystalline size of the nanoparticles. The morphology and purity of the sample were analyzed by Scanning electron microscopy and Energy Dispersion X-ray Diffraction analysis. The optical properties were ascertained by Ultraviolet spectroscopy. The results matched well with the standard values.
