The efect of various fuels on the yield, structural and optical properties zinc zirconate nanocomposite
Musembi, Michael K.; Dejene, Francis B.; Ahemen, Iorkyaa; Tshabalala, K. G. (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2020)Various types of fuels were used in a low-temperature solution combustion synthesis of zinc zirconate nanocomposite at a pH of 7. In the synthesis, the fuels used were citric acid, glycine, urea, hydrazine hydrate, and ... -
Investigation of the effect of precursor ratios on the solution combustion synthesis of zinc zirconate nanocomposite
Musembi, Michael K.; Dejene, Francis B. (Elsevier, 2019)Zinc zirconate nanocomposite was synthesized by a low-temperature solution combustion method using citric acid as fuel at a pH of 7. The synthesis was done by varying the ratios of zirconium butoxide and zinc nitrate, which ... -
Structural and optical characteristics of dysprosium-doped zinc zirconate nanocomposites
Musembi, Michael K.; Dejene, Francis B.; Ahemen, Iorkyaa (Optica Publishing Group, 2020-09)Zinc zirconate nanocomposites with varying compositions of Dy3+ ions were synthesized through a solution combustion method using citric acid as a fuel. There were mixed hexagonal ZnO and cubic ZrO2 phases in the X-ray ...
