In this work, FeO-doped ZnO nanoparticles (FeO-ZnO NPs) were synthesized by the chemical method of sol-gel coating on glass substrates with concentrations of [0%, 3%, and 5%]. The properties of the synthesized FeO-doped ZnO NPs films were investigated in terms of their structural, optical, and electrical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to study the crystal structure, crystal growth, and chemical composition of the samples. The UV-Vis spectra of the synthesized films show a blue shift in the optical bandgap of the ZnO nanoparticles integrated with FeO. Electrical properties of the FeO-doped ZnO-NP films were investigated as a function of temperature. A linear relationship between ln(R) and 1/T was found.
