Preparation and characterization studies of TiO2 doped ZrO2 on ITO nanocomposites for optoelectronic applications. (2021) - Mohamed Saleem, A.
Abstract: In this present work, we have observed that the films deposited at 350 °C are polycrystalline with two peaks at 2θ = 23.12° and 62.47° and they corresponds to the (1 0 1), (0 0 4), (2 0 0), (1 0 5), (2 1 1), (0 0 2), (1 1 6), (2 2 0) and (2 1 5) reflections of TiO2 -ZrO2 films indicating the presence of randomly oriented crystallites in nature. In order to under the FTIR spectroscopic results shows that the information about phase composition and the way in which oxygen is bound to metal ions. Therefore, the broad peaks at 1054 cm −1 and 906 cm −1 could be assigned to the deformation band in water and to the C-O stretching absorption in the bicarbonate and carbonate ions. However, a uniform size of ZrO2 particles are spherical in nature and size of the particles is in the nm regime despite agglomeration it can be observed that the sizes of the particles are of the order of 10 nm respectively.
