Sol-Gel Syntheses of Zinc Oxide and Hydrogenated Zinc Oxide (ZnO:H) Phases

Figure 6

(a–f) FT-IR of ZnO and their corresponding ZnO:H samples at 0, 0.05, and 0.15% starch content of precursor solutions. (a) FT-IR of zinc oxide; ZnO synthesized using precursors in deionized water only, 0% starch (control). (b) FT-IR of hydrogenated zinc oxide; ZnO:H synthesized from precursors in deionized water only, 0% starch. (c) FT-IR of zinc oxide; ZnO synthesized using precursors in 0.05% starch solution. (d) FT-IR of hydrogenated zinc oxide; ZnO:H synthesized from precursors in 0.05% starch solution. (e) FT-IR of zinc oxide; ZnO synthesized using precursors in 0.15% starch solution. (f) FT-IR of hydrogenated zinc oxide; ZnO:H synthesized from precursors in 0.15% starch solution.
