Effective role of Rb doping in controlling the crystallization, crystal imperfections, and microstructural and morphological features of ZnO-NPs synthesized by the sol–gel approach

This article is allocated to synthesizing pure ZnO and Rb-doped ZnO nanoparticles, Rb x Zn 1− x O-NPs via the sol–gel technique and then studying the effect of Rb doping ZnO on the crystal structure, microstructure parameters and morphology of the host lattice.
