Abstract
Metal and metal oxide materials are mostly used to tune the optical characteristics. The optical and systemic effects of pure Cobalt Oxide (Co3O4) are examined by knocking out the dissimilar assemblage of Manganese (Mn) ions using the co-precipitation method. Graphene oxide (GO) reduces the optical band gap and enhances the effects of ethical Co3O4 and MnCo3O4 by hydrothermal procedure. The percentage of Mn over pure Co3O4 was 0.09 wt%, 0.18 wt%, 0.27 wt%, and GO doped over MnCo3O4 was 1 wt%. Remarkably, spinel-type cobalt oxide has two participation band gaps at 494 nm and 772 nm of nanocomposites which then shifted from 494 nm to 510 nm and 772 nm to 779 nm with the doping of GO. The result describes that the band gap was minimized from 1.76 eV to 1.59 eV respectively to accommodate the density of states by doping of Mn ions and GO. Conductivity and optical absorbance were also increased by doping assemblage of Mn ions and GO. XRD peaks show the FCC crystalline structure of Co3O4, and the GO peak disappeared for @MnCo3O4, indicating that GO was completely reduced to rGO during the synthesis process.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium for the rapid publication of original research papers, short communications and subject reviews dealing with research on and applications of electronic polymers and electronic molecular materials including novel carbon architectures. These functional materials have the properties of metals, semiconductors or magnets and are distinguishable from elemental and alloy/binary metals, semiconductors and magnets.
