Abstract
ZnO and different atomic percentages of Cu-doped ZnO nanocrystallites have been prepared by aqueous thermolysis method using Glycine as a fuel and encapsulating agent. Mechanism and formation of intermediate products have been given for the first time. All the findings given are for samples annealed at 800 °C. XRD of nanocrystalline ZnO and Cu–ZnO has been indexed to hexagonal wurtzite structure. Influence of temperature on thermal properties of gel precursor and Cu-doped ZnO nanoparticles have been investigated using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. Accordingly, samples have been annealed at different temperatures. Infrared studies revealed formation of Cu–ZnO nanoparticles and removal of organic matter at higher temperature.
