ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF STRUCTURALLY ENHANCED ZNO NANOSTRUCTURES

Abstract

Electrical conductivity of ZnO nanostructures is demonstrated in current research. Thesynthesis of ZnO nanocompoundcan be done by simple precipitation method. The prepared materialis characterized by X-raydiffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Electron diffraction spectra (EDS) and UV–vis spectrophotometer. TheSEM demonstrates aggregated sphere-like morphology of ZnO nanocompoundswith size ranging from 100-300 nm. The electrochemical performance of the ZnO nanocompoundsis analysedby measuring I-V characteristics.Theresults of the electrochemical investigations indicate that the ZnO nanostructures improve the electrical conductivity.
