Preparation and Characterisation of ZnO - SiO2 and Bi2O3 – CuO Nanocomposites

Preparation and Characterisation of ZnO - SiO2 and Bi2O3 – CuO Nanocomposites

In the present work, ZnO - SiO2 and Bi2O3– CuO nanocomposites have been prepared by sol gel with alternate precursors existing in literature. They are characterised by XRD, SEM,UV, FTIR and photoluminescence  spectra .The XRD results indicate a crystallite size of  approximately 80 nm for both nanoc...
