Abstract
In this report, we discuss the preparation of undoped and (Fe,Co) co-doped ZnO nanocomposites via an ultrasonicated probe, which were both under UV irradiation for 12 h and annealed at 400 °C for four hours in ambient air. Here, we investigated the different concentration of dopant transition metals (ZnO-Fe1-x-Cox) (x = 0.03, 0.05, and 0.07). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses confirmed the nanophase, crystallinity, good uniformity, and around 28 nm core sizes of all of the (ZnO-Fe1-x-Cox) as-synthesized composites with different rates. The optical properties of ZnO doped with a high percent of Fe nanoparticles displayed an increase in absorption in the UV region and a slight decrease in the energy band gap to 3.13 eV. Magnetic measurements revealed that doping enhanced the ferromagnetism of ZnO. Recent studies which aimed to improve the optical and magnetic properties of metal oxides, the most important of which being zinc oxide, have allowed their applications to diversify and multiply in the medical, industrial, and electronic fields.
