“…Ni et al [22] have demonstrated a cost-effective and simple hydrothermal process for the synthesis of ZnO nanorods. Likewise, Akir et al [25] employed an ecofriendly synthesis technique for the fabrication of various morphologies of ZnO NPs. Thus, application specific structure of ZnO NPs may be prepared using various synthesis procedures and parameters.…”

Tuning the photocatalytic property of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) is timely. Dependence of photocatalysis upon size, morphology and effective surface area of the particles used has led to optimization in various synthesis procedures. The current article addresses to dictate a cost-effective, bio-friendly, modified ease-process for this issue. The synthesis of ZnO NPs with differing photophysical properties, sizes and morphologies, in order to tune its photocatalytic activity, have been extensively studied. Polyethylene glycol as the structure directing agent and different synthesis strategies were adopted. Spectroscopic and microscopic characterization techniques were employed to understand the nature of the as-synthesized samples. Photocatalytic property and photostability of the samples were determined based on experiments performed with common xanthene and azo dyes. Based on analysing the results, certain characteristics, such as smaller particle size, less agglomerated structure, higher surface area and superior lifetime of the photogenerated electrons and holes upon light illumination, were essential for ZnO NPs to act as an efficient photocatalyst.

“…An attempt to explain possible growth mechanism of ZnO nanoparticles in various rates of basic solution addition was made by Akir et.al. [ 16 ] Based on the results of the experiments they concluded that with the low addition speed of OH − , slow and prolonged reaction can lead to the orientation of growth along c ‐axis. On the contrary, with high speed of OH − addition, the excess of ions is easily adsorbed on the surface of ZnO nanocrystals promoting the growth in other directions.…”

to its bulk counterparts. The improvement of some properties is due to the increase in surface area-high surface to volume ratio of nanoparticles enhance some of their properties at low concentrations and provides exceptional chemical and physical properties, i.e., high amount of surface active sites, good mechanical strength, and thermal stability. [2] Among transition metal oxides, ZnO nanomaterials are widely exploited in a number of fields, such as anti-UV additives, photocatalysis, chemical sensors, or piezoelectric transducers. [3] Moreover, ZnO nanoparticles have emerged as very efficient tool to prevent microbial proliferation due to excellent antibacterial activity against vast range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In this case zinc oxide can be incorporated into textiles, surfaces coatings, cosmetics as well as cellulose fibers to inhibit microbial growth and to reduce the risk of illnesses, infections and food poisoning outbreaks. Along with other metal and metal-oxides nanoparticles such as silver or titanium compounds, ZnO has attracted considerable attention because it is regarded as a safe material for both humans and animals. [4] In addition to that only small amount of this material is required to exhibit strong antibacterial activity, which is attributed to the nanoscale surface effect, and surface/volume aspect.The mechanism of the antibacterial performance of ZnO has been widely discussed in the literature but it still remains under constant investigation. [5] According to researchers it is attributed to several viewpoints. It mainly involves the release of oxygen species from the surface of nanoparticles which cause the oxidative stress and fatal damage of microorganisms through cell wall and cell membrane decomposition and subsequent leakage of cell content. Another possible mechanism is the release of Zn + ions which can damage the cell membrane and penetrate intracellular content which mainly results from its solubility in the microorganisms containing medium. [6] Yet another important factor behind cell damage is the contact between the bacterial cell and the particle whereby microenvironment within the contact area is changed. Therefore, physical damage of bacteria cell wall can be induced which leads to its disintegration and eventual death of bacteria cell. [7] It isThe discovery and characterization of nanoparticles represent a multidisciplinary issue. Their properties and applications within many fields depend on their size, shape, aspect ratio, and so on. No single methodology can currently analyze all characteristics and reveal their influence on the specific performance. Here, antibacterial and mechanical properties are investigated of three different ZnO nanoparticles (cubes, rods, and pellets) incorporated in the cellulose matrix in order to examine the correlation between the physical and chemical characteristics and antibacterial/mechanical activities. Therefore, various particles of ZnO with different sizes, shapes, and aspect ratios are synthesized via simple pr...

“…[58][59][60][61][62] There are many examples in the literature depicting the use of nanoparticles with variable morphologies to enhance the catalytic turnover. [63][64][65][66] Uniform Au nanoparticles with different shapes (cubes, rods and spheres) were prepared, for example, to evaluate the influence of the catalyst morphology on the degradation of dyes. 67 In particular, gold nanospheres and nanorods were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich; nanocubes were instead synthesized by adding freshly prepared NaBH 4 into a colloidal gold solution, made by mixing HAuCl 4…”
