Synthesis, characterization and visible light photocatalytic activity of nitrogen-doped zinc oxide nanospheres

Pure and Nitrogen (N)-doped ZnO nanospheres were successfully prepared using microemulsion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study indicates formation of nanosized N-doped ZnO with wurtzite phase. Nitrogen incorporation into oxygen site of ZnO causes lattice compression and small peak shift toward low...
