Abstract
Iron (Fe)-incorporated zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via chemical precipitation technique and studied using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. PXRD analysis reveals a hexagonal wurtzite structure for all the synthesized samples. UV–visible measurements demonstrate a reduction in the bandgap of ZnO with an increase in Fe concentration. The ZnO and Fe-incorporated ZnO NPs are studied for the degradation of organic textile dye under visible light irradiation. All the nanoparticles are thoroughly investigated using impedance and dielectric measurements in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 1 MHz. The results obtained are compared, interpreted, and presented in this paper. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2024.
