Optical and photocatalytic properties Undoped and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by hydrothermal method: Effect of annealing temperature

Undoped and Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method with different annealing temperature conditions. Structural, chemical and optical properties of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-Vis spectrophotometry and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The phase purity was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) […]

Sonochemical synthesis of undoped and Co-doped ZnO nanostructures and investigation of optical and photocatalytic properties

In this paper, undopedZnO and Co-ZnOnano structureswith different molar ratio of Cobalt have been synthesized by the sonochemical method. Structure have been characterized by Fourier Transform (FTIR) and UV–Vis spectroscopy,Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analytical X-Ray (EDAX), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) methods. Moreover, the direct band gap has been calculated by Tauc’s approach.Moreover, mean […]

Effects of Ag, Nd codoping on structural, optical and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 nanocomposite synthesized via sol-gel method using starch as a green additive

In this paper, undoped TiO2 and Ag-Nd-codoped TiO2 nanocomposites with different molar ratios of dopants were synthesized by the sol-gel method using starch as a natural additive. Structures were investigated by FT-IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, SEM, and XRD methods. Moreover, the direct band gap was calculated by Tauc’s approach. Furthermore, photocatalytic activity of all samples […]

Hazelnut shell as a valuable bio-waste support for green synthesis of Ag NPs using Origanum vulgare leaf extract: Catalytic activity for reduction of methyl orange and Congo red

In this work the Origanum vulgare leaf extract was used to green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) supported on Hazelnut shell as an environmentally benign support. The Ag NPs/Hazelnut shell as an effective catalyst was prepared through reduction of Ag+ ions using Origanum vulgare leaf extract as the reducing and capping agent and Ag NPs […]

Incorporation of Pb2+, Fe2+ and Cd2+ ions in ZnO nanocatalyst for photocatalytic activity

In the present study, Pb-ZnO, Fe-ZnO, Cd-ZnO and Pb-Fe-Cd-ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by the sonochemical method and those structural and optical properties were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Average crystallite size obtained was 60 nm. Moreover, the direct band gap has […]
