Abstract
Synthesis of transition metal doped zinc oxide particles in aqueous phase was studied by adopting a low cost, easy and environmental friendly route. The precursors used in the preparation of Cu doped ZnO (Zn0.95Cu0.05O) and ZnO (Zn0.9oCu0.1O) by wet process are zinc acetate dehydrate, copper chloride, sodium hydroxide, di-ethylene glycol and double distilled water. The doped ZnO particles were characterized by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The study constitutes the basis for developing versatile applications of transition metal doped ZnO microstructures
