Undoped ZnO and Gd doped ZnO nanostructures were successfully synthesized by a sonochemical method. Concentration effect of Gd dopant on the phase, morphology and photocatalytic activities was investigated. An XRD analyzer was used to reveal the as-synthesized 0–3 mol% Gd doped ZnO with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The SEM and TEM images show the nanorod-shaped products with their growth along thecaxis. The photocatalytic activities of the as-synthesized products were determined by measuring the degradation of methylene blue under UV and visible light irradiations. In this research, the 3 mol% Gd doped ZnO performed the highest photocatalytic activity.
