Influence of Ni Doping on Structural, Morphological and Optical Properties of Sol-Gel ZnO Thin Films

Abstract:

Ni-doped ZnO thin films were prepared on glass slide substrates by a sol-gel dip coating method with different Ni doping concentrations (0-33 mol%). The effect of Ni doping concentration on structural, surface morphology and optical properties of the thin films was characterized by XRD, FESEM and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The XRD results indicated that pure ZnO thin film exhibited a hexagonal wurtzite structure. Ni (OH)₂ phase were observed at a high Ni doping concentration. The FESEM images showed that the surface morphology and surface roughness were sensitive to the Ni doping concentration. The optical transmission measurements were observed that the transmittance decreased with increasing the Ni doping concentration.
