Zn0.95-xLi0.05MgxO (x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results confirmed that all samples are polycrystalline with a hexagonal-wurtzite structure. The surface morphology of the samples were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The SEM analysis showed that all samples exhibit cheese-like plates and the plate sizes increase with Mg addition. Optical properties were examined by UV-VIS diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The optical measurements indicate that the reflectance edge of the samples have red shift up to 2% Mg doping level, but blue-shift for 3% Mg doping. The optical band gap of Zn0.95-xLi0.05MgxO nanostructures are calculated as 3.227, 3.214, 3.209, and 3.221 eV with x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 respectively. Electrical properties including the carrier concentration, Hall mobility, and resistivity were studied using Van-der Pauw method. The temperature resistivity curves of the samples shown typical semiconductor behavior. The carrier concentration decreases with increasing doping level up to 2% Mg, and it slightly increases for 3% Mg. The variation of the Hall mobility for the samples is inversely proportional to the carrier concentration.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHall Effect MeasurementsHydrothermal SynthesisMg and Li Codoped ZnOOptical PropertiesArticle10.1111/ijac.130601611381452-s2.0-85050737695Q2WOS:000452054600015Q2
