Abstract
Y and Cu co-doped ZnO sea urchin-like nanostructures were prepared via chemical precipitation method. The co-effects of Y and Cd ions on the optical properties of the as-synthesized samples were studied. Structure and optical properties of sea urchin-like Zn0.93-xY0.07CuxO nanostructures were studied. At Y concentration x=0.07 and Cu concentration x=0.01, the UV and visible emission intensity reached optimization. Appropriate Y and Cu in ZnO can effectively increase the UV emission and visible emission intensity of ZnO. This enhanced UV and visible emission enables Zn0.93-xY0.07CuxO system potential applications in full light emissions devices..
