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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy reveals the influence of charged sensitizing quantum dots on the electron dynamics in ZnO
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Photoinitiated charge carrier dynamics in ZnO nanoparticles sensitized by CdSe quantum dots is studied using transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. The evolution of the transient spectra ...
Thermodynamic efficiency analysis of ZnO/Zn based solar thermochemical CH4 reforming and H2O splitting cycle
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The ZnO/Zn based CH4 reforming (MR) and H2O splitting (WS) process was thermody-
namically scrutinized in this investigation. Two process arrangements i.e., ZnO/Zn based
open (ZS) process and ZnO/Zn based semi-open (ZSH) ...
Thermodynamic efficiency analysis of zinc oxide based solar driven thermochemical H2O splitting cycle: Effect of partial pressure of O2, thermal reduction and H2O splitting temperatures
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, the thermodynamic efficiency analysis of ZnO-based solar-driven thermochemical H2O splitting cycle is performed and compared with the SnO2-based H2O splitting cycle. The HSC Chemistry 7.1 software is used ...
