Zinc oxide (ZnO) was prepared by the sol-gel method as thin films deposited using spray pyrolysis. The characterization of the synthesized ZnO has been carried out using x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. The experimental results revealed that the p...
