ZnO nanorods: morphology control, optical properties, and nanodevice applications

Modulating Zn(OH)2 Rods by Marine Alginate for Templates of Hybrid Tubes with Catalytic and Antimicrobial Properties

“…In contrast to harsh synthesis conditions, utilization of organic/toxic chemicals, and complicated synthesis procedures reported in the literature, − a simple homogenization process could produce Zn­(OH) 2 rods at room temperature in the presence of alginic acid. As shown in Figure a, upon adding alginic acid into a mixture solution of Zn­(Ac) 2 and NaOH, Zn­(OH) 2 rods were produced gradually.…”

Morphological impact of zinc oxide particles on the antibacterial activity and human epithelia toxicity

“…Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one such favoured material since it can be prepared in numerous forms and is available in large quantities. Different forms of ZnO have been utilized as additives for a wide range of products, including composite materials such as glass, ceramics, plastics, lubricants, paints, cement, adhesives, sealants, batteries, fire retardants and medical products [2][3][4][5]. The food supplements industry offers ZnO based products, because Zn is an essential micronutrient, serving important roles in human and animal growth, development and well-being [4,6].…”

Cap‐Like Ellipsoid Deposition on the ZnO Nanowires for Large Increase of Fluorescence Induced by Localized Field Enhancement Effect

“…[2] Previous literature indicated that the high exciton binding energy of ZnO is related to the superposition of electron and hole wave functions, high exciton recombination probability, and excellent optical gain, which makes ZnO realize UV stimulated radiation DOI: 10.1002/crat.202100271 and perform to be an ideal primary material for optical emission devices. [3] In the last decades, the fluorescence properties of ZnO have drawn much attention and aroused excellent industrial prospects in light-emitting diode display technology, [4] thin-film transistors, [5] piezoelectric devices, [6] and other field, [7,8] even in medical science [9] and food safety application. [10] However, the fluorescence properties of ZnO are still constrained by crystalline quality, defects, and impurities during the fabrication process.…”
