Abstract

Metal oxide semiconductor nanoparticles play an outstanding role in many applications that are regarded as particularly promising within the broad area of nanotechnology, energy storage, energy conversion and biomedical applications. Among the various semiconductor nanoparticles TiO2 based nanomaterials are various photovoltaic applications. In this present work, we have synthesized Al doped TiO2 nanoparticles by using a sol-gel technique. The prepared samples were investigated optical absorption, functional group, surface morphology and elementary composition of pure TiO2 and Al doped TiO2 nanoparticles by using UV-Visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, Photoluminescence (PL) -studies, FE-SEM and EDS analysis.
