Investigation of Phase, Purity, Morphology and Particle Size of Zn_(1-x)Cu_xO Materials via X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Microscopic Techniques

Abstract:

Substitution of cations in metal oxides result in differences of materials characteristics. Substitution resulting in isostructural materials is not easy. In this work, Cu has been used as the substitution element for Zn in Zinc oxide. The Zn_(1-x)Cu_xO (x=0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05) materials were prepared via a simple soft chemistry method without using any chelating agents. Results showed that some of the samples are pure but the heavily doped samples contain a very small amount of CuO as an impurity. XRD and microscopy results agree with each other.
