Manufacturing And Characterization Of Zno And Zno-Doped Frit Crystal By Physical And Optical Methods

This study was carried out to determine the physical and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) and ZnO-doped Frit. Two groups of ZnO were prepared, namely, pure ZnO and ZnO-doped Frit. ZnO was prepared as ZnO disc and ZnO powder, and its high surface area and other characterized physical properties were expected to be the figure of merit in increasing the radiation interaction. Field emission scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) (FESEM) were utilized for analysis purposes. The particle size of pure ZnO was larger than ZnO-doped Frit in which ZnO-doped Frit particle size ranged in the scope of 260 nm, while pure ZnO was in the scope of 300 nm. The bond of the ZnO-doped Frit was better compared to pure ZnO. Raman spectroscopy characterization studies showed that the tops for both spectra displayed the same Raman shift. More top in ZnO-doped Frit was seen due to its bigger amount of impurities in the crystal. The energy gap for discs by UV of P338 was 3.37 eV, while the energy gap for ZnO-doped Frit was 3.26 eV. This study yielded impressive results in terms of the manufacture of ZnO, whereby the energy gap was proved by Ultraviolet-visible (UVV) device. In contrast, the ZnO-doped Frit generated inadequate result due to the small percentage used.
