“…Among the zinc precursors, the main used are zinc acetate [ 156 , 157 ], zinc nitrate [ 158 , 159 ] and zinc chloride [ 150 , 160 , 161 ], which readily dissolve in most of the solvents used in this kind of reaction (water [ 152 , 162 ], ethanol [ 163 ] and methanol [ 164 ]). For the dopant precursor, chlorides [ 138 ], nitrates [ 165 , 166 ] and acetates [ 144 ] from the corresponding dopant elements are the typical choices.…”

Smart nanoparticles for medical applications have gathered considerable attention due to an improved biocompatibility and multifunctional properties useful in several applications, including advanced drug delivery systems, nanotheranostics and in vivo imaging. Among nanomaterials, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were deeply investigated due to their peculiar physical and chemical properties. The large surface to volume ratio, coupled with a reduced size, antimicrobial activity, photocatalytic and semiconducting properties, allowed the use of ZnO NPs as anticancer drugs in new generation physical therapies, nanoantibiotics and osteoinductive agents for bone tissue regeneration. However, ZnO NPs also show a limited stability in biological environments and unpredictable cytotoxic effects thereof. To overcome the abovementioned limitations and further extend the use of ZnO NPs in nanomedicine, doping seems to represent a promising solution. This review covers the main achievements in the use of doped ZnO NPs for nanomedicine applications. Sol-gel, as well as hydrothermal and combustion methods are largely employed to prepare ZnO NPs doped with rare earth and transition metal elements. For both dopant typologies, biomedical applications were demonstrated, such as enhanced antimicrobial activities and contrast imaging properties, along with an improved biocompatibility and stability of the colloidal ZnO NPs in biological media. The obtained results confirm that the doping of ZnO NPs represents a valuable tool to improve the corresponding biomedical properties with respect to the undoped counterpart, and also suggest that a new application of ZnO NPs in nanomedicine can be envisioned.

“…Synthesis of semiconductor materials with unique magnetic, photocatalytic and optical properties appear to be the upcoming candidates for the next generation of spintronics, electronic, and optoelectronic devices. 1 Owing to their technological importance, the wide band gap semiconductors, such as ZnO, 2 GaN, 3 AlN, 4 and InN 5 have attracted more consideration among other semiconductors. Particularly, zinc oxide (ZnO) has been studied extensively, thanks to its large exciton binding energy (60 meV), 6 outstanding chemical and thermal stabilities, 7 and wide-direct bandgap (3.37 eV).…”

The economic evaluation is one of the key points in building chemical industries. This paper presented a preliminary economic evaluation of the large scale production of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using the sol-gel method, which is very useful for helping decision whether the fabrication of this material profitable or not. Particularly, the study was done by changing the cost of raw material, which was compared to several economic parameters such as GPM, PBP, and CNPV. The result showed that the project was profitable by increasing raw material cost below 100% from the estimated raw material cost, informing the fact for the prospective fabrication for fulfilling the demand of ZnO nanoparticles.
