SYNTHESIS OF NANOSTRUCTURED AL-DOPED ZINC OXIDE QUANTUM DOTS BY NOVEL CHEMICAL ROUTE

摘要

The present invention relates to synthesis of AI-doped zinc oxide quantum dots for device applications. The synthesis of Al doped ZnO is done using zinc acetate in DMSO and aluminium nitrate as a dopant source. The chemical reaction is carried out at room temperature followed by quenching at low temperature. Aldoped zinc oxide quantum dots can be utilized for device applications more specifically Organic Light Emitting Devices, photovoltaic and anti reflecting applications
