PROLIFERATING OPTOELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF DOPED ZNO NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

Ag-doped ZnO nanocomposites were synthesized precisely by adopting a wet chemical method to explore their optoelectronic characteristics for LED applications. Characterization studies have progressed for substantiation of its structural, and functional characteristics in conjugation with the optical properties of nanocomposites before and after doping. The metal-oxygen bonding was affirmed from IR spectra and excitation characteristics were detailed from UV–visible absorption spectra. The SEM images along with Energy dispersive X-ray analysis deliberates hexagonal morphology for pure ZnO which was surprisingly reformed into poly hexagon structures after doping with silver ions. The pertinence of the target material for LED application was verified by performing photoluminescence and charge density measurements. The doping of silver ions into ZnO presents a novel avenue in the field of optronics and serves as appropriate phosphors for light-emitting diodes. The application of the title compound was established by providing nano coating to LED bulb and emission efficiencies was recorded before and after coating. The present research recommends a unique method of nanocoating of LED bulb for efficient light intensity.
