Solvothermal synthesis of Ti doped ZnO

Abstract

Titanium doped zinc oxide powders were synthesized by solvothermal method. Polycrystalline powders of ZnO with different amounts of Ti -Zn1-xTixO (x=0, 1, 2, 5, 7.5, 10 at%) were obtained from ethanolic solution of zinc acetate dihydrate in the presence of lithium hydroxide and titanium citrate. Reaction was conducted in autoclave at 225 0 C and 42 bar for 6 h. Detailed structural analysis was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Based on obtained results mechanism of Ti incorporation in ZnO lattice was discussed
