Undoped ZnO and Mg-doped ZnO (MZO) thin films were synthesized by sol-gel dip-coating technique. The effect of Mg dopant on the structural, surface-morphological, and optical properties together with the photocatalytic activities of the films was studied. Morphological study shows that incorporation...
