Abstract

In this study the Titanium doped Zinc oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by exposing microwave for 3min with 800W power. 1 mole of Ti concentration were doped into ZnO. Detailed crystal and local atomic structure of synthesized samples were characterized via X-ray diffraction. Obtained Ti doped ZnO nanoparticles degraded with increasing Ti content. The grain size of the Ti doped ZnO is also determined. These studies clearly suggest that microwave synthesis make fast and homogeneous reactions, to synthesis highly crystalline nano sized Ti doped ZnO nanoparticles. Solar cell is one of the best applications in future.
