A systematic investigations on the structural, morphological and infrared characterizations of copper doped zinc oxide (Zn0.94Cu0.06O) nanoparticles have been carried out in the present work. A simple and inexpencive sol-gel auto combustion technique was emplyed for the synthesis of Zn0.94Cu0.06O nanoparticles. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transformer infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD pattern reveals the formation of single phase with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The crystalline size calculated using Scherrer’s formula was found in 21 nm. SEM analysis shows the spherical morphologly with agglomoration of Cu2+ doped ZnO nanoparticles. FTIR confirms the successful incorporation of Cu2+ in to ZnO nannoparticles without disturbing its crystal structure.
