Investigations of adsorption and photoluminescence properties of encapsulated Al-ZnO nanostructures: Synthesis, morphology and dye degradation studies.

ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the solution combustion approach to examine the nanostructures of undoped and doped ZnO with different concentrations of Al (0.1 % and 0.2 %). Various physical techniques were utilized to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the crystalline materials, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) findings confirmed the products with particle size and the insertion of Al into the ZnO lattice. Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR) confirmed the presence of different functional groups in the obtained material. The results indicate that Al-doped ZnO (Al-ZnO) nanoparticles show promising properties for optoelectronics and photoluminescence. Photoluminescence analysis indicated that an increase in Al3
