If I synthesize Nickel doped ZnO powder (powder & thin film) by sol-gel method, by those samples which applications I can target? All scientific answers/explanations are highly appreciated. Thank you!
Dear Arpan Ghosh
Possible applications for zinc oxide samples mixed with nickel
1.Photocatalysis
2.Antibacterial and Antimicrobial Activity
3.Biosensing and Bioimaging
Nickel-doped ZnO (Ni:ZnO) materials, whether in powder or thin film form, have a variety of applications due to their unique properties.
Kindly go through some literature for further clarity.
Dear Arpan Ghosh,
Nickel-doped ZnO (Ni) synthesized via the sol-gel method can be targeted for multiple applications across optoelectronics, catalysis, environmental sensing, spintronics, medical coatings, energy storage, and solar technologies. The specific properties introduced by Ni doping—such as enhanced electrical conductivity, magnetism, visible light activity, and catalytic efficiency—make it a versatile material with a range of potential applications.
Why would Ni-doped ZnO be preferred above more classical doped ZnO thin films such as Al:ZnO, B:ZnO or Ga:ZnO which are classically used as TCO's? Does Ni:ZnO yield quasi fully transparent coatings ?
