Photocatalytic activity of La-doped ZnO nanostructure materials synthesized by sonochemical method

© 2015, The Nonferrous Metals Society of China and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. ZnO nanostructure materials doped with different La contents were synthesized by sonochemical method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission ele...

Yayapao O. Arin J. Thongtem S. Thongtem T. © 2015, The Nonferrous Metals Society of China and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. ZnO nanostructure materials doped with different La contents were synthesized by sonochemical method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In this research, XRD patterns of pure ZnO and La-doped ZnO are specified as hexagonal wurtzite ZnO structure with no detection of La 2 O 3 phase. SEM and TEM characterization revealed the flower shape of pure ZnO built-up from petals of hexagonal prisms with hexagonal pyramid tips. Upon doping with La, the flower-shaped ZnO is broken into individual 1D prism-like nanorods. Photocatalytic activities of the as-synthesized products were determined by measuring the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under ultraviolet–visible (UV) light irradiation. Among them, the 2.0 mol% La-doped ZnO shows better photocatalytic properties than any other products. 2017-09-28T04:24:01Z 2017-09-28T04:24:01Z 2016-05-01 Journal 10010521 2-s2.0-84931364104 10.1007/s12598-015-0508-3 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=84931364104&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/41904
