Recent advances in ZnO-based photosensitizers: Synthesis, modification, and applications in photodynamic cancer therapy

A facile fabrication of zinc oxide‐doped carbon aerogel by cellulose extracted from coconut peat and sodium alginate for energy storage application

“…Conversely, an excessive amount of cellulose in the ZCA‐5 results in a higher impedance than that of its preceding ZCA‐4, which can be assigned to an overly‐dense distribution of cellulose fibers in the network, hindering the contact of ions over the surface and thereby decreasing the electric capability of the material. Moreover, the predominant carbonaceous content also significantly attenuates the accessibility of the reactants to the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles, consequently obstructing the charge transfer via redox interactions 31,32 . These findings are relatively accordant with the aforementioned results in SEM images.…”

“…Moreover, the predominant carbonaceous content also significantly attenuates the accessibility of the reactants to the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles, consequently obstructing the charge transfer via redox interactions. 31,32 These findings are relatively accordant with the aforementioned results in SEM images. Meanwhile, similarly fluctuated trends can also be observed for the resistance and conductivity of surveyed samples, as illustrated in Figure 4b.…”

Research progress of stimuli-responsive ZnO-based nanomaterials in biomedical applications

“…16 Recently, the system constructed by combining stimuli-responsive materials with extraordinary triggers has effectively achieved on-demand switching of treatment modes and reconciled the conflict between biocompatibility and therapy, which has shown great application potential in the fields of antibacterial, drug delivery, medical diagnosis and tissue engineering. 17,18 Nevertheless, although some stimuli-responsive ZnO-based materials have been reviewed, 19,20 they are mainly concentrated in a single stimulus or application, and few studies have systematically summarized or classified this material. Furthermore, there are fewer reviews on stimulus-responsive ZnO-based nanomaterials extensively studied for biomedical applications according to various stimulus sources.…”

How Cr doping influences on the properties of ZnO nanoparticles obtained by aqueous synthesis: Exploring at low Cr concentrations

“…Applications of such material include the creation of optoelectronic devices, gas sensors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors, antireflective coatings, acoustic transducers, transparent conductive electrodes, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalytic devices, and optical windows in solar panels [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. They are also used for the manufacture of varnishes, paints, printer inks, in the beauty industry for cosmetics, cleaning products such as soaps, in medicine to produce drugs for Sun protection, balms, as a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence sensor, in addition to its important applications as an anticancer, antibacterial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory substance [12][13][14][15].…”
