Abstract
The Co-precipitation method (CPM) was used to make pure and Fe doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (Nps) in this study. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to describe the sample's structural, optical, and electrical properties. The hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO was verified by the X-ray diffraction pattern. The Debye Scherrer formula was used to measure the average crystallite size. The pure and Fe doped ZnO sample absorbs the radiations in the UV ranges up to 327.27, 324.74 and 323.5 nm and almost all the visible spectrum radiations are transmitted by the synthesized Nps. FTIR analysis was used to identify the functional frequencies of pure and Fe doped ZnO Np. The electrical conductivity of ZnO Nps decreases with Fe doping concentration due to increase in deep donor concentration.
