Synthesis of Zn2+-doped MgO nanoparticles using substituted brucite precursors and studies on their optical properties

Abstract: Doping is an important tool for the modification of physicochemical properties of metal oxide nanoparticles. The present study is devoted to doping Zn 2? in MgO nanoparticles. Substituted brucite precursors, synthesized via sol-gel method, were calcined at 500-1000°C to get the Zn 2? -doped MgO nanoparticles. Phase analysis on the Zn 2? -doped MgO samples using X-ray diffraction showed single set of peaks in the XRD patterns due to cubic MgO. Small nanoparticles (25-55 nm) were observed in the Zn 2? -doped MgO… Show more

“…Kumar et al [ 15 ] and Li et al [ 16 ] have shown that possibly the existence of oxygen vacancies and adsorbed H species are important for the appearance of RTFM in MgO nanocrystals or thin films, respectively. Ion doping also influences the optical and electro-optical properties of MgO NPs [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”

“…Dopants in nanocrystals lead to phenomena not found in the bulk because their electronic states are confined to a small Volume [17]. However, the dopant impurities have tuned the properties of metal oxide nanoparticles in MgO [18][19][20]. Therefore, these dopants can be altered the properties, as in demand for their industrial requests as a magnetic sensor, optical, switching device, and as diluted magnetic semiconductor [18,21], by modifying the energy gap [22,23], the magnetic properties [24,25], the antibacterial effect [26], the optical [24,27], the conduction [28] and the Photoluminescence [29] properties.…”

“…MgO is doped by Zn to obtain a luminescence material with any band gap between their band gaps and shift the emitted light in the visible region. Sharma et al [15] have reported the synthesis of Zn doped MgO with a different Zn 2+ ratio that could emit light in UV and Blue region. Recently, Vasanthi et al [6] reported that Zn doped MgO nanoparticles generated a bright bluish green emission (450 nm to 570nm) when excited with near UV light (330 nm to 380 nm).…”
