Description
Summary:Abstract This study has reported about the preparation and characterization of Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles doped with Cobalt series at low temperature by Sol‐gel method. The characterization techniques like X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, defused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and DC measurement have been used to confirm its phase formation, that is, monoclinic, surface porous morphology, the redshift of Raman peaks confirms optical phonon confinement, whereas increasing bandgap signifies the quantum confinement effect. The semiconducting nature of samples has been observed by two probe method. Furthermore, the study has focused in detail on the effect of cobalt doping with varying concentrations by wt % on its structural, morphological, optical, and conductivity features.
