摘要
Zn1-x Cu (x) O nanoparticles were synthesized by using sol-gel method. Structure and optical properties of Zn1-x Cu (x) O nanoparticles were studied experimentally and theoretically. The simulations are based upon the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof form of generalized gradient approximation within the density functional theory. The results showed that the UV emission is effectively quenched and the emission in visible-light region is enhanced by Cu-doping, which are theoretically explained to be attributed to the electronic intra-band transition from the occupied bands to the unoccupied ones under irradiation. Therefore, Zn1-x Cu (x) O system may be a potential candidate for photocatalytic in visible light range.
