Annealing effects on structural and magnetic properties of Co-doped ZnO nanowires synthesized by an electrodeposition process

A study of structural, optical and magnetic properties of Zn0.97−xCuxCr0.03O diluted magnetic semiconductors

“…In succession, further theoretical calculation has been carried on the ZnO doped with Cr, V, Fe, Ni and Co and predicted that they should exhibit ferromagnetic properties [3]. Both experimental results and theoretical calculations revealed that different transition metal ions and carrier concentration in the ZnO based DMSs would strongly influence their properties [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of new photocatalyst Ag/AgCl/ZnO

“…Various photocatalysts have been synthesized and studied, such as TiO 2 [1], ZnO [2], BiVO 4 [3], AgNbO 3 [4], ZnWO 4 [5], etc. ZnO, as a wide direct band gap (3.2 eV) semiconductor, has been attracting much attention in the past decades, and it has been used in different areas, such as solar cell [6], sensor [7,8], magnetic material [9], photoluminescence material [10] and photodegradation [11], etc. ZnO is a good photocatalyst, which presents higher photocatalytic activity than TiO 2 in the photodegradation of some organic compounds [12], so it is a suitable alternative of TiO 2 .…”

Novel Pulse Electrodeposited Co–Cu–ZnO Nanowire/tube Catalysts for C1–C4Alcohols and C2–C6(Except C5) Hydrocarbons from CO and H2

“…Most of the reported literature on nanowires do not discuss the distribution of its elements. ,, Properties of nanomaterials can change significantly depending upon the distribution of their constituent elements.…”
