Synthesis and Characterization of (PVA-CoO-ZrO2) Nanostructures for Nanooptoelectronic Fields
Abstract
Nanocomposites have a wide range of applications, including optical integrated circuits, sensors, coatings, and medical devices. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to prepare a new type of nanocomposites made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with different concentrations (0, 1, 2 and 3) wt% of cobalt oxide and zirconium dioxide (CoO-ZrO2) nanoparticles by using casting method. Microscopic photographs demonstrate the fact that the additive distribution amount of NPs in the polymer was uniform, and (CoO-ZrO2) NPs formed a continuous network within the polymer when the concentration reached 3wt.%. The outcomes of optical properties indicate that the absorbance of nanocomposites improves as the concentrations of cobalt oxide and zirconium dioxide nanoparticles increase while transmittance and the optical energy gap decrease. On the other hand, optical constants of nanocomposites (refractive index, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary the dielectric constants) and optical conductivity are increase with increases in the weight percentages of (CoO-ZrO2) nanoparticles. These outcomes demonstrate the (PVA-CoO -ZrO2) NCs use for various optical devices.
