Sonochemical synthesis, photocatalysis and photonic properties of 3% Ce-doped ZnO nanoneedles
ZnO nanostructured particles doped with 0-3% Ce were successfully synthesized by an ultrasonic solution method. Phase and morphology characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, SAED and EDX revealed the presence of hexagonal wurtzite ZnO nanoneedles with E 2H vibration at 426 cm -1 , composing of t...

| Summary: | ZnO nanostructured particles doped with 0-3% Ce were successfully synthesized by an ultrasonic solution method. Phase and morphology characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, SAED and EDX revealed the presence of hexagonal wurtzite ZnO nanoneedles with E 2H vibration at 426 cm -1 , composing of the corresponding elements and growing in the [0 0 1] direction. The 3% Ce-doped ZnO nanoneedles showed the 3.00 eV direct energy gap and 392.6 nm emission by UV-visible absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, including the most effective photocatalytic activity in the solution containing methylene blue. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. |
