Abstract:Silver (Ag) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflakes were processed through a facile wet-chemical route. Their phase purity and wurtzite crystalline characteristics were studied using the results of X-ray diffraction measurements. The flake-like morphological nature of the processed materials was examined through scanning electron microscopy. The optical absorbance of undoped ZnO was noted to improve significantly along the visible region on Ag doping. The absence of surface plasmon resonance in Zn 1-x Ag x O nanostr… 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.
