Dual doping effect of Ag+ & Al3+ on the structural, optical, photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanoparticles

ZnO nanoparticles with the size ∼ 20 nm to 40 nm were prepared by dual doping of Ag+ and Al3+ ions using a microwave-assisted chemical synthesis technique. The composition of Ag is fixed as 2 at.% and Al is varied from 0 to 6 at.%. The prepared ZnO nanoparticles were characterized using XRD, HRTEM,...
