摘要
ZnO, Zn0.97Gd0.03O and Zn0.97Ho0.03O were prepared via a citrate auto-combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) demonstrated that the investigated nanoparticles were prepared in a hexagonal structure, with crystallite sizes averaging between 12 and 60 nm. The morphology of the samples is illustrated by the field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images. The paramagnetic behavior of the investigated nanoparticles is demonstrated by VSM. The value of the optical band gap (E-g) of Zn0.97Gd0.03O was higher than the E-g of ZnO due to the Moss-Burstein effect. Heavy metal Cd2+ ions from water are effectively adsorbed by rare earth-doped ZnO. At pH = 8, Zn0.97Ho0.03O exhibits a maximum removal efficiency of 91%. The Freundlich isotherm model fits the experimental results well.
