Abstract

Reported here is the various levels of Zn incorporated CuO nanocrystals derived from a simple chemical precipitation method. The prepared nanocrystals were studied for structural, functional and morphological analysis. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis of the prepared nanocrystals revealed the monoclinic crystal structure with the sizes in the range between 18 and 25 nm. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) of the prepared nanocrystals was recorded in the range of 4000-400 cm-1 and its further supporting the formation of CuO nanocrystals. The morphology of the prepared products analyzed with Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and the results revealed the synthesized nanocrystals are well distributed and flaky nature in morphology.
