Abstract:Undoped and Fe-doped ZnO nanosheets have been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method using zinc acetate as the source of Zn2+, iron(III) nitrate as the doping source, urea as media to control the solution pH and polyethylene glycol as structure-directing agents. The obtained materials were characterized by means of XRD, TEM, BET, FT-IR and UV-Vis-DRS. The results show that ZnO has a hexagonal wurtzite structure and that the Fe3+ ions were well incorporated into the ZnO nanosheets crystal lattice. As … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
