Ag-doped ZnO nanoparticles (Zn1-xAgxO; where x = 0.00-0.05) were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. The synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and UV-Vis spectrometer. The SEM and TEM micrographs revealed the agglomerated spherical-like morphology and the measurements show that the size of crystallites is in the range of 10-40 nm. Optical measurements indicated a red shift in the absorption band edge after Ag doping. The band gap values of as prepared undoped and doped with silver samples were found to decrease with increase in temperature from 300 to 800 A degrees C. Photocatalytic activities of ZnO and Ag doped ZnO were evaluated by irradiating the sample solution to ultraviolet light by taking methylene blue as organic dye. The experiment demonstrated that the photo-degradation efficiency of 1 mol% Ag-doped ZnO was significantly higher than that of undoped and 2-5 mol% Ag doped ZnO under ultraviolet light irradiation.
