“…The Cu2O/ZnO sample before calcination had the peaks at 36.6, 42.5, 61.4, and 73.8 o corresponding to (1 1 1), (2 0 0), (2 2 0) and 3 1 1lattice planes of Cu2O crystal (JCPDS05-0667). [15] The peak at 2θ = 14.5 o was associated with the (2 0 0) lattice plane of zinc hydroxide carbonate (Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6, ZHC) (JCPDS 19-1458) [16] and the peak at 33.3 o was assigned to coper hydroxide carbonate (Cu2(OH)2CO3, CHC). [17] For bare ZnO, the main peaks of ZnO were identified at 2θ = 31.7, 34.4, 36.2, 47.5, 56.6, 62.8 and 67.9 o revealed the crystalline structure of hexagonal wurtzite phase.…”
