This paper presents the recent advances of the ZnO nanowires based sensors. ZnO has gained a substantial interest in the research areas of the wide band gap semiconductors due to its unique electrical, optical and structural properties. ZnO is considered as one of the major candidates for several electronic and photonic applications. ZnO is considered as a potential contender in optoelectronic applications such as solar cells, surface acoustic wave devices, and ultraviolet (UV) emitters. ZnO as a nanostructured material exhibits many advantages for nanodevices. ZnO nanostructured material has the ability to absorb the UV radiation. ZnO nanowires have received a considerable attention due to the morphological changes with doping. ZnO nanowires are very attractive material for nano-sensors due to their properties induced by the quantum size effects. Recently, ZnO nanowires based devices have gained much attention due to their various potential applications in nanoelectronics devices including gas sensors, nanogenerators, and nano-lasers. The recent aspects of ZnO nanowires based sensors devices are presented and discussed.

This review focuses on the synthesis of plant-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and their applications for antibacterial and photocatalytic degradation of dyes, thereby addressing the need for sustainable and eco-friendly methods for the preparation of NPs. Driven by the significant rise in antibiotic resistance and environmental pollution from dye pollution, there is a need for more effective antibacterial agents and photocatalysts. Therefore, this review explores the synthesis of plant-mediated ZnO NPs, and the influence of reaction parameters such as pH, annealing temperature, plant extract concentration, etc. Additionally, it also looks at the application of plant-mediated ZnO NPs for antibacterial and photodegradation of dyes, focusing on the influence of the properties of the plant-mediated ZnO NPs such as size, shape, and bandgap on the antibacterial and photocatalytic activity. The findings suggest that properties such as shape and size are influenced by reaction parameters and these properties also influence the antibacterial and photocatalytic activity of plant-mediated ZnO NPs. This review concludes that plant-mediated ZnO NPs have the potential to advance green and sustainable materials in antibacterial and photocatalysis applications.
