Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of different graphene oxide (GO) solution immersion temperature on the structural, morphology, optical, and electrical properties of zinc oxide/graphene oxide (ZnO-GO) nanostructures. The ZnO/GO nanostructures prepared at various GO solution immersion temperature from 75-95℃ using solution immersion method. The structural properties of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the recorded patterns revealed that all the samples had a preferred orientation along the (002) plane. The crystallinity of ZnO/GO nanostructures were enhanced with increasing GO solution immersion temperature. The morphology of ZnO/GO nanostructures was determined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine the molecular compounds of ZnO/GO nanostructures. The peak intensity of GO with ZnO nanoparticles is shifted at 744 to 1243 cm-1 when the temperature of GO solutions increases. The UV–visible spectrophotometer was used to examine the optical properties of ZnO/GO nanostructures. It is found that the highest transmittance ZnO/GO nanostructures was obtained at the highest GO solution immersion temperature which is 95℃. Based on the current-voltage(I–V) measurement, the electrical properties of ZnO/GO nanostructures increase when the GO solution immersion temperature increases. Thus, by variation of GO solution immersion temperature the structural, morphology, optical, and electrical behaviour were improved.
