Synthesis and Characterization of Molybdenum Doped ZnO Thin Films by SILAR Deposition Method

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Fabrication and investigation of zinc oxide nanorods doped with molybdenum via ultrasonic spray pyrolysis

“…The electrical conductivity values of the 10% mol doped sample which has the highest conductivity are between 1.58 × 10 −9 and 1.58 × 10 −6 (ohm‐cm) −1 . These results are the lowest compared with other Mo‐doped ZnO studies in the literature 12,14,15 …”

“…The 10 mol% doped Mo‐doped ZnO sample had the highest electrical conductivity which was 4.221 × 10 −3 (ohm‐cm) −1 . Also, the 5 mol% Mo‐doped ZnO sample showed the highest optical transmittance 15 . Swapna et al.…”

“…Also, the 5 mol% Mo-doped ZnO sample showed the highest optical transmittance. 15 Swapna et al deposited Mo:ZnO thin films by spray pyrolysis route. The Mo doping concentrations were between 0 and 4% at.…”

“…Therefore, even doping of Mo in a very little concentration can give adequate free carriers and decrease the ion scattering effect. 15 In the present study, with the motivation that ions with higher valence states can contribute to electrical conductivity and optical transmittance, Mo-doped ZnO nanorods were produced via an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis system and examined their properties.…”

“…While the incorporations of Mo-dopant on ZnO lead to a blue-shift in the optical gap energy. 37 These incorporations create shallow donor states partially filled in the bottom of the conduction band around Fermi level. 38 Furthermore, the difference between the valence electrons of Mo 6+ and Zn 2+ is 4, which can produce enough free carriers.…”
