Synthesis of minimal-size ZnO nanoparticles through sol-gel method: Taguchi design optimisation
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) has excellent potential to be used in water and wastewater treatment, either as a photocatalyst or in membrane incorporation. In this work, the synthesis of smaller ZnO NPs through a sol-gel approach was ...
Biocompatibility and toxicity of novel iron chelator Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO) compared to zinc oxide nanoparticles to zebrafish embryo: An oxidative stress based apoptosis, physicochemical and neurological study profile.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Clinically approved iron chelators are effective in decreasing significant transfusional iron accumulation. Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO), a novel high molecular weight iron chelator, was produced to increase binding capacity ...
"green" ZnO-Interlinked Chitosan Nanoparticles for the Efficient Inhibition of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in Inject Seawater
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Antimicrobial agents and corrosion inhibitors are widely used as biocides in the oil and gas industry to disinfect water and inhibit excessive biofilm formation caused mainly by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRBs). However, ...
Surface Modified Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles as Smart UV Sensors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
The present paper examines the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles and their surface modification via the microwave assisted sonochemical method along with its successful application in designing a smart UV sensor. The structure ...
Modified zno nanoparticles using iron ions (Fe3+) for photo-catalytic degradation of toxic pollutants under sunlight
(
Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
, 2019 , Book chapter)
The optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles were modified using various dopant concentrations of iron (Fe3+) via a sol-gel method. To investigate of ZnO nanoparticles, the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy ...
Heterogeneous growth mechanism of ZnO nanostructures and the effects of their morphology on optical and photocatalytic properties
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflowers have huge potential for various applications. However, the growth mechanism of ZnO nanoflowers is still under debate despite various growth mechanisms having been proposed. The aim of this study ...
Oil-Water Separation by ZnO-Based Superhydrophobic PU Sponges
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2020 , Article)
Continuous oil–water separation is not only an important topic for scientific research but also for practical applications to clean oil from industrial oily wastewater and oil-spill pollution. In this work, polyurethane ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The present article deals with the preparation of polyvinyl formal based nanocomposites filled with zinc oxide (ZnO) and carbon black nanoparticles using colloidal blending technique. To explore the electrical and structural ...
The advanced photocatalytic degradation of atrazine by direct Z-scheme Cu doped ZnO/g-C3N4
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, Cu was incorporated into ZnO lattice to reduce its band gap as well as to extend its visible radiation response. The obtained Cu-ZnO was continuously integrated with g-C3N4 to create Cu-ZnO/g-C3N4 Z-direct scheme ...
Strategies to Enhance ZnO Photocatalyst's Performance for Water Treatment: A Comprehensive Review
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2022 , Article Review)
Despite the photocatalytic organic pollutant degradation using ZnO started in 1910?1911, many challenges are still ahead, and several critical issues have to be addressed. Large band gap, and short life-time of photogenerated ...
