Volume 4, Issue 3 , July 2019, , Pages 251-262

https://doi.org/10.22090/jwent.2019.03.008

Abstract
  ZnO and 2%Fe-ZnO nanomaterials were prepared by using a low-cost sol-gel method. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). The XRD and SEM studies reveal that the synthesized nanomaterials ...  Read More
