Periodical silver nanoparticle (NP) arrays were fabricated by magnetron sputtering method with anodic aluminum oxide templates to enhance the UV light emission from ZnO by the surface plasmon resonance effect. Theoretical simulations indicated that the surface plasmon resonance wavelength depended on the diameter and space of Ag NP arrays. By intro...

The excessive amount of textile effluents disposed into the water streams is a common source of contamination of the hydrosphere. To efficiently remove pollutants in water bodies, there is growing demand for highly efficient, cost effective, and green remediation techniques. In line with such demand, a heterostructured photocatalyst (ZnO-ZnTe) has ...
Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films are deposited on glass substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method in confocal configuration at room temperature (RT). Several techniques are used to investigate the effects of sputtering power, from 50 to 300 W, on structural, optical and electrical properties. It is found, from Grazing ...

In this study, nanocomposite films with enhanced functional properties were prepared by loading titanium dioxide (TiO2) and/or zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles within 4A zeolite (4AZ) particles, and then incorporating these nanocomposites into a poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and gelatin matrix. The composition and morphology of the films were characteri...

Extensive application of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) in everyday life results in increased exposure to these NPs. Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) guarantee sperm production throughout the male reproductive life by providing a balance between self-renewal and differentiation. We used an in vitro platform to investigate the ZnO NPs effects ...
This work reports the first utilization of anthocyanin extracted from black rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains as a structure-directing agent for the synthesis of hollow zinc oxide (ZnO) spheres via a simple solvothermal reaction and their subsequent modifications with various amounts of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Following hybridization wit...

Nanocomposite materials are emerging in popularity due to their enhanced performance over the constituent materials. In this work, we report the fabrication of zinc oxide: cobalt oxide nanocomposites in a simple, fast and room temperature synthesis with good productivity. The nanocomposites synthesized were characterized by SEM, XPS and UV–Visible ...

Thin films of ZnO, Ti doped ZnO and Mn doped ZnO were prepared on flexible polyimide substrates by means of the RF sputtering technique for different sputtering parameters, and their structural and electronic properties were investigated. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GI-XRD) results confirmed that the grown samples followed the hexagonal wu...

The electrochemical determination of 4-nitrophenol using a nanohybrid consisting of glassy carbon (GC) and zinc oxide/graphitic carbon nitride (ZnO/g-CN nanosheet), is described. The ZnO/g-CN nanohybrid was in situ synthesized by chemical method and well characterized using absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscop...

Long term exposure of skin to UV rays produces detrimental effects such as premature skin-ageing and skin cancer. Although, zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are good sunscreen agents, they do not provide highly efficient UV radiation protection and antioxidant and anti-aging effects. The present study was aimed at developing and charact...
