摘要
Pure and chromium doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by eco-friendly and cost effective sol-gel technique. Structural, morphological and optical properties of pure and Cr doped ZnO nanoparticles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, and UV-vis spectroscopic techniques, respectively. The crystallite size of pure ZnO nanoparticles were observed to decrease from 29 to 24 nm as dopant concentration was increased to 3 %. Band gap of pure ZnO nanoparticles were also observed to decrease from 3.5 to 3.37 eV with increase in dopant concentration. The photo-catalytic degradation of methyl blue dye under UV irradiation was examined for synthesized samples. The chromium doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were found to give enhanced photo degradation efficiency (75.5 %) than the pure zinc oxide nanoparticles (51.2 %).
