“…The major templates used for the preparation of hybrid materials can be produced at present with monodispersed colloid particles or controlled morphology (such as membrane pore structure). 27 Therefore, nano-ZnO can be potentially applied to UV-shielding materials, 25,26 catalysts, 21,22 antibacterial materials, 23,24 sensors, 19 solar cells 28,29 and so forth. This method has been used to synthesize nanoparticles of II-VI compounds (e.g., CdS, PbS), 10,11 III-V compounds (GaAs) 12 and a wide range of metal oxides including TiO 2 , 13 ZnO, 14 Fe 2 O 3 , 15 and PbO, 16 Fe 3 O 4 .…”
