Abstract
Different Fe2O3/ZnO nanocomposites were prepared by a simple solid-state reaction method, using zinc acetate, α-Fe2O3 and sodium hydroxide at room temperature. The characterization results show that the morphology, crystalline size, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and optical absorption of the samples varied significantly with the Fe+3/Zn+2 ratios. The nanocomposites show two absorption edges at ultraviolet and visible region. The optical band gap values of these nanocomposites were calculated to be about 3.98-3.81eV and 2.75-2.98 eV, which show a red shift from that of pure ZnO. These red shifts are related to the formation of Fe s-levels below the conductive band edge of ZnO and effectively extend the absorption edge into the visible region. Here, the growth mechanisms have been proposed
