Abstract

Pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) has demonstrated the superiority in synthesizing many free-contamination metal oxides as well as nanostructured metals. In the present study, ZnO and Al-doped ZnO colloidal nanoparticles were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in a water using a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser beam (1064 nm, and pulse with 700 mJ) focused on the surface of the Zn target. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, ZnO NPs and aluminum doped-zinc oxide (AZO) colloidal nanoparticles were found to be of the crystalline hexagonal wurtzite-type. UV–Vis spectrophotometer analysis of the fabricated ZnO NPs and AZO NPs has demonstrated high absorption spectra in the ultra-violet regime, while their band-gap energies were assessed at 3.1 eV and 3.3 eV, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the formed ZnO NPs revealed high agglomerates of semispherical NPs with an average size of about 48 nm whereas when ZnO NPs doped with Al, their morphology modified to nanorods with dimensions of about (124 nm × 90 nm), indicating the presence of Al in the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. The I–V characteristics for ZnO NPs/Si and AZO NPs/Si heterojunction structure were evaluated under dark and light conditions. The produced device displayed strong photovoltaic characteristics, indicating that it could be applied to optoelectronics. These findings demonstrate the suitability of Al-doped ZnO produced in water using the laser ablation technique for UV detectors. Therefore, nanosecond laser ablation in liquid is a great way to prepare different nanostructures materials that can be used in a variety of fields and an efficient and flexible way to create nanoparticles with adjustable size, shape, and features.
