Abstract

ZnO–MgO nanopowders containing engineered structural defects were synthesized by modified Pechini method. The crystal structure, morphology and the properties of materials were studied by XRD and SEM analysis, FTIR and luminescence spectroscopy. The influence of the type and concentration of different organic modifying compounds on the crystal structure and properties of synthesized materials has been investigated. Average size of crystals, lattice parameters and luminescence spectra of defects were compared for samples with different content of citric acid. The change in citric acid content has no influence on the morphology of synthesized powders. It was found that the replacement of Zn2+ ions by Mg2+ in hexagonal ZnO crystals leads to the deformation of crystal lattices and to the decrease in their cell volume. This Mg2+ embedding is accompanied by the displacement of Zn2+ ions into the interstitials structural positions and the appearance of characteristic emission peaks of these structural defects in luminescence spectra. Experiments show that prepared ZnO–MgO nanocomposites demonstrate high photocatalytic activity. Obtained materials can be used as intermediates for the fabrication of functional ceramics, etc.
