Diameter-controlled synthesis of ZnO nanorods on Fe-doped ZnO seed layer and enhanced photodetection performance

Multi-band visible photoresponse study of Co2+ doped ZnO nanoparticles

“…Due to the wide bandgap, pure ZnO itself acts as a good UV detector. Dopants like magnesium,[42][43][44][45] iron,46 vanadium, 47 gallium,48 lanthanum, 49 manganese,…”

Influence of formulation of ZnO nanoblokes containing metallic ions dopants on their cytotoxicity and protective factors: An in vitro study on human skin cells exposed to UVA radiation

“…Modifying structure of ZnO nanoparticles is a suitable way for promoting their properties. Over the past decade, it has been shown that Zn-based nanomaterials with multi-metallic structures (Zn(O)-M, M = secondary metal) show new and effective interesting properties that were not seen in mono-metallic structures (ZnO) [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] ]. Previous reports have shown that altering the ZnO matrix through iron doping decreases particle dissolution in tissue culture media and leading to a reduction its toxicity [ 9 ].…”

“…The doping metal on ZnO particles, helps stabilizing both structure and surface morphology of ZnO particles by preventing the release of Zn +2 ions in solution [ 17 , 24 , 25 ]. Incorporation of doping element into ZnO crystal can change lattice parameters and defects (intrinsic/extrinsic) concentration [ [26] , [27] , [28] ].…”

Fabrication of UV-VIS photodetector based on the ZnO/MoS2 and ZnO/WS2 heterostructures

“…Among the many types of photodetectors, such as GaN, Si, SiC and AlGaN, zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the leading choices for producing highperformance UV photodetectors due to wide bandgap (3.37 eV), considerable binding energy (60 meV), low cost, ease of manufacture, and non-toxic [3]. ZnO is often used as a UV photodetector in various structural configurations, including quantum dots, nanotetrapods, nanotubes, nanowire and nanorods [4]. ZnO one-dimensional (1D) nanostructure arrangement plays an essential role in photodetector performance because of its high surface to volume ratio, high optical gain, high response speed compared to the bulk form of ZnO [4].…”
