Influence of Mg dopant on photocatalytic properties of Mg-doped ZnO nanoparticles prepared by sol-gel method
© 2017 The Ceramic Society of Japan. All rights reserved. Mg-doped ZnO nanoparticles with different Mg contents were synthesized by sol-gel method with subsequently calcination at 600°C for 2h. The X-ray diffraction results revealed the presence of wurtzite pure ZnO with hexagonal structure in both...
