Abstract
Cd doped ZnO (Zn1–xCdxO, x = 0, 0.03, 0.06 and 0.09) were prepared via a chemical co-precipitation method using Zinc Acetate, Cadmium Acetate and Sodium Hydroxide at 50 °C. Hydrate nanoparticles were annealed in air at 300 °C for 3 h. Effect of doping is investigated with the help of X-ray Diffraction Technique, UV Visible spectroscopy, FTIR and RAMAN spectroscopy The result of X-ray Diffraction shows the change in nanoparticles size. The XRD measurement reveals that the prepared nanoparticles have different microstructure without changing a hexagonal wurtzite structure . We analyzed with the study of tauc plots that band gap decreases with the increment of doping concentration.
