研究目的
To investigate the structural, optical, dielectric, and conducting properties of Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by co-precipitation method.
研究成果
Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by co-precipitation method exhibit improved crystalline quality and optical transmission in the visible region. The decrease in ac conductivity with increasing Mn content is associated with an increase in defects amount. The materials show potential for high frequency applications due to their low dielectric loss at high frequencies.
研究不足
The study is limited to Mn doping percentages from 0 to 3% and does not explore higher doping levels or other doping elements. The synthesis method is co-precipitation, which may not be directly comparable to other synthesis methods.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
Mn doped ZnO nanopowders with different Mn percentages (0, 1, 2, and 3%) were synthesized by co-precipitation method using ZnCl2?4H2O and MnCl2?6H2O as host and doping precursors respectively.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
The chemicals zinc chloride tetrahydrate (ZnCl2?4H2O) and manganese (II) chloride hexahydrate (MnCl2?6H2O) were used as the host and doping precursors respectively. They were mixed according to a stoichiometric ratio.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Bruker D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer, Perkin Elmer spectrometer, UV-VIS spectrophotometer (optizen POP), Solartron SI1260 Impedance Gain-Phase analyzer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The synthesis procedure involved dissolving ZnCl2?4H2O in distilled water and ethanol, adjusting the pH to 10 with NaOH, stirring, filtering, washing, drying, and annealing at 500°C for 4 h.
5:Data Analysis Methods
XRD for structural analysis, FTIR for chemical bonds and elemental constituents, UV-VIS for optical properties, impedance measurements for dielectric and conducting properties.
