Due to the growing concern on depletion of non-renewable resources, waste heat
harvesting has become one of the effective approaches for solving the energy shortage …

Thermoelectric materials have gained wide attention to realize multilevel efficient energy
management to alleviate the increasingly severe energy crisis. Oxide ceramics were well …

Transparent pure and Al-doped zinc oxide (ZnO, AZO) thin films have been deposited onto
glass substrates by sol-gel dip-coating technique. The effect of Al doping and annealing …

Morphology-rich ZnO as a direct band gap II–VI semiconductor is a promising material for
photonic, optical, and electronic devices. Nanostructured materials have provided a leading …

The structural, optical, and electrical properties of ZnO are intimately intertwined. In the
present work, the structural and transport properties of 100 nm thick polycrystalline ZnO films …

We report the preparation by the RF magnetron sputtering technique of ZnO thin films with
deposition times of 50 and 100 min on glass, amorphous quartz, and silica-on-silicon (SiO …

A rapid microwave-assisted process was used to synthesize a quasi-aligned Al-doped ZnO
nanorods on a glass substrate. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were …

ZnO is commonly synthesized using many different techniques. Among them, the chemical
bath deposition (CBD) technique is appealing as it is low cost and environmentally friendly …

ZnO is one of the most widely used inorganic sunscreens, owing to its fine particle size and
UV light shielding capability. However, powders at nanosizes can be toxic and cause …

We report here the fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles embedded on glass substrate by sol–gel
and spin coating technique. Transmission electron microscope images revealed that the thin …
