Pure and Ag doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized on microscopic sand particles by sol-gel method. Silver nitrate was used as the doping precursor, Ag doping levels of 1.3 to 7.7 of Ag/Zn ratios were obtained based on energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. X-ray diffraction results show t...
