Effect of Ag Doped Nanostructure CuO Thin Films

In this experiment, the nanoparticles Bimetallic NPCuOAg was already made using the chemical spray pyrolysis process. Shap and structure CuOAg nanosheets was tested via XRD & AFM was investigated. XRD shown impacted of Ag doping from (0 – 4) % reason decreasing crystallite size, as microstrain and dislocation density are increasing. Also, AFM analysis of NPCuOAg a hierarchical structure where CuO thin films are regularly established with three dimensional nanoparticles Ag skeleton. The optical characteristics confirm that when Ag doping increases, the energy gap reduces from (2.4 - 2.32) eV.
