The effect of Copper Oxide added with Zinc Oxide nanostructure prepared by hydrothermal method

Hydrothermal method was used to synthesize the zinc oxide (ZnO) added with different concentration of copper oxide (CuO) in order to study the influence of CuO on the growth of ZnO nanostructures in terms of band gap, morphology and its physical properties. The value of CuO addition was ranging betw...
