- Abstract
The present work focuses on the formulation and characterisation of undoped NiO and NiO codoped with Mg and Zn. The samples were characterized by x-ray diffractometer and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. For the detection of elements present in the samples, energy dispersive x-ray analysis was employed. Two sets of codoped samples were prepared varying the amount of Mg and Zn. A set of codoped samples was prepared keeping the quantity of Mg at a fixed value and allowed the quantity of Zn to fluctuate. The second set of codoped samples was prepared keeping the extent of Zn at a fixed value and allowed the quantity of Mg to fluctuate. The bandwidth of undoped and codoped materials was computed raising Tauc plot. Crystallite size was computed following Scherrer formula.
