Abstract
Ni and Mg-doped ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized using a facile sol–gel route. The XRD pattern revealed that the prepared samples have a wurtzite structure. The size of the particles is measured in the range of 13–17 nm, where the maximum size reduction is received for the Mg at. 2%—doped sample and discussed in terms of induced lattice distortion. The blue band absorption at 356 nm exists only in Mg-doped Zn0.96Ni0.04O. The optical band gap is wide-ranging between 3.91 and 3.87 eV, with Mg = 2% -doped Ni:ZnO nanoparticles exhibiting a red shift due to defect concentrations. The FTIR spectra confirmed the existence of Ni and Mg in ZnO structures as well as the presence of molecular vibrations. The PL spectra exposed emissions in UV, blue, and green regions, and changes in their intensities were related to zinc vacancy and oxygen defect sites. The PL spectra exposed emissions in UV, blue, and green regions, and changes in their intensities were related to zinc vacancy and oxygen defect sites.
