Al
doped ZnO (AZO) nanostructures were produced by using an electrochemical
process. The growth structures were then characterized structurally, optically,
photoluminescence and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The X-ray
diffraction (XRD) studies assessed that AZO nanostructures has been
successfully grown. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed the
morphology with nearly uniform grains. The photoluminance (PL) spectrum shows
that the ultraviolet emission band between 384 and 537 nm occurs the strong and
broad green emission. The UV-vis has a strong absorption below 350 nm and
performs transparent mode in the visible range. FTIR spectrum also attributes
the transmittance light in visible range is higher than the near infrared
range. It has been summarized that AZO nanostructure has been successfully
grown by an electrochemical route.
