Description
Pristine CdO and Zn doped CdO nanoparticles have been prepared via solid-state method. A simple and cost-effective synthetic method where the precursors zinc acetate dehydration and cadmium acetate dehydration were mixed in ethanol. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the prepared samples were of a single crystalline cubic structure of CdO with the patterns observed to be shifting to higher two theta angles as the concentration of the dopant was increased, indicating the distortion in the structure. The absence of the Zn peaks in the XRD data might indicate that Zn has successfully substituted for Cd in the host lattice. Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Energy-Dispersive X-Ray (EDS) Spectrum will be used to affirm the presence of the zinc and cadmium oxide nanoparticles. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) will be used to study surface morphology. The potential use of Zn doped CdO nanoparticles will be analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD).
