The Modification of Structural, Optical and Antibacterial Activity Properties of Rare Earth Gadolinium-Doped ZnO Nanoparticles Prepared by Co-Precipitation Method

Vacancy induced enhanced photocatalytic activity of nitrogen doped CuO NPs synthesized by Co-precipitation method

“…In this study, nitrogen doped CuO NPs have been synthesized via co-precipitation method which is considered as a facile technique due to its high efficiency, versatility, low cost, and ability to control particle size and morphology precisely [ 7 ]. Compared to other synthesis methods, this approach also offers a number of unique advantages, i.e., an eco-friendly way to produce high-purity nanoparticles with complete control on process parameters, such as pH, temperature and mixing rate [ 44 , 45 ]. Moreover, in co-precipitation method, generation of oxygen vacancies affected by mixing rate have been reported previously as well which is beneficial for photocatalytic activities [ 46 , 47 ].…”

Morphological evaluation and boosted photocatalytic activity of N-doped ZnO nanoparticles prepared via Co-precipitation method

“…Chemical co-precipitation approach has various distinct advantages compared to other processing methods, i.e., complete integration of the dopant into the crystal lattice, control over temperature, solution pH, dopant amount, and rate of mixing [ [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] ]. This method offers the production of high-purity nanomaterials through environment friendly path, eliminating the use of toxic organic solvents, high pressure, and temperature [ [37] , [38] , [39] ].…”

Multifunctional properties of gadolinium doped annealed zinc oxide nanoparticles

“…In view of the above, the Gd 3+ ion-doped ZnO lattices annealed at different temperatures have been insufficiently studied and it is learnt that the mechanical properties have not been investigated effectively on these materials despite of their potential applications in mechanical engineering. In addition, it is understood that Gd doped ZnO nanoparticles offer excellent properties to create a variety of luminescent materials, and phosphor films, may result in good tribological characteristics [26]. The density functional theory (DFT) results established the presence of RTFM (Room Temperature Ferromagnetism) property with Gd: ZnO nanomaterials [22,[27][28][29][30].…”
