The Influence of Gel Preparation and Thermal Treatment on the Optical Properties of SiO<sub>2</sub>-ZnO Powders Obtained by Sol–Gel Method

The effect of gel preparation and heat treatment on the structural and optical properties of SiO<sub>2</sub>-ZnO materials prepared by the sol–gel method was investigated. Zinc acetate dehydrate, TEOS (tetraethylortosilicate), ethanol, distillated water and HCl were used as a starting ma...
