Research paper thumbnail of Structural, optical, and catalytic properties of undoped and CdS doped CuO–ZnO nanoparticles

Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2017

The structural, optical and catalytic properties of undoped (CuO-ZnO) and CdS doped CuO-ZnO (CdS/... more The structural, optical and catalytic properties of undoped (CuO-ZnO) and CdS doped CuO-ZnO (CdS/CuO-ZnO) nanoparticles were studied. The blue shifting of optical band gap in CuO-ZnO nanoparticles as compared to their respective bulk oxides (CuO: 1.21-1.5 eV, ZnO: 3.37 eV) was observed as 3.9 eV, while red shifting after doping of CdS was found from 3.9 to 3.7 eV. The angle of diffraction and FWHM values were used to observe crystallite phase and to calculate crystallite size (using Scherer and Williamson-Hall equations) and other parameters like strain, dislocation density and bond length of nanoparticles. The particle size of CuO-ZnO and CdS/CuO-ZnO nanoparticles using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was found 12.54 and 6.93 nm, respectively. It was concluded that decrease in particle size cause red shifting which increase the catalytic efficiency of nanoparticles.
