“…It is a promising material for various applications such as ultraviolet light emitters, flat panel displays, spin functional devices, transparent conductive oxides, gas sensors and surface acoustic wave devices [4,[20][21][22]. There has been much consideration on the synthesis of nanoparticles of both these semiconductors by various techniques which include chemical vapor deposition, thermal evaporation, sol-gel, combustion, hydrothermal, non-hydrolytic high temperature injection method, microwave irradiation, solvothermal, mechanical ball milling, coprecipitation etc., [8,17,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Among these techniques, coprecipitation is a conventional wet chemical technique to synthesize materials with high yield in mass production [29][30][31].…”
