“…Preparation of Ag-ZnO nanoparticles by chemical [10], photochemical [11,12], coprecipitation [5,13], sol-gel [4], hydrothermal [14][15][16][17][18] or solvothermal [19], microwave [20], flame spray pyrolysis [21], electrospinning [22], and RF magnetron sputtering [23] methods and hybrid induction and laser heating technique [24] have been reported already. Although reports on synthesis of nanocrystalline ZnO are numerous, ZnO nanostructure continues to be of interest; it has been synthesized in the form of nanoparticles by chemical precipitation [25], nanowires by solution-phase reaction [26], nanoparticles, nanosheets, and hexagonal nanopyramids by direct calcination [27], and nanoparticles, nanowires, nanobelts, nanorods, prismatic nanorods, nanosheets, nanoflowers, nanospheres, and hollow spheres by hydrothermal method recently [28][29][30][31][32]. …”
