- Abstract
- In this paper, we present a simple microwave-assisted synthesis of Zn1 - xCoxO nanopowders. With the advantages of the microwave-assisted method, we have successfully synthesized good crystalline quality and good surface morphology Zn1 - xCoxO nanopowders. The nanopowders are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-VIS absorption, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. We found, in the synthesis process, the surfactant Triethanolamine (TEA) plays an important role on the morphology of Zn1 - xCoxO nanoparticles. The XRD study shows that for Co doping up to 5%, Co2+ ions are successfully incorporated into the ZnO host matrix. The absorption spectra of Zn1 - xCoxO (x = 1-5%) nanopowders show several peaks at 660, 611 and 565 nm, indicating the presence of Co2+ ions in the tetrahedral sites. The Raman study shows that the linewidth of E2 low mode increases with Co concentration, which further indicates the incorporation of Co2+ ions into the ZnO host matrix. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
