摘要
Hexagonal Zn1-xCdxO microtubes with CdO contents (x = 0, 1, 3 and 5 %) have been successfully synthesized via direct microwave irradiation. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), and energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were employed to characterize the Zn1-xCdxO microtubes. Zn1-xCdxO microtubes have an average diameter of 140 mu m, wall thickness of 2 similar to 4 mu m and length of about 250 mu m. UV-vis studies showed that the optical band gap of ZnO microtube (3.27 eV) was reduced to 3.20 eV for Zn0.97Cd0.03O microtube. The PL spectra showed a strong emission peak in the visible region centered at 562.88 nm with a weak UV emission has been detected for Zn0.97Cd0.03O microtube. EDS confirms the presence of Zn and O in ZnO microtube and the absence of Cd as a doping material for CdO-doped ZnO microtubes due to the small amounts of CdO concentration.
