Abstract
Zinc oxide-based nanomaterials (ZONMs) are of significant scientific and industrial interest due to their unique properties, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. This review comprehensively summarizes the potential applications of ZONMs across numerous fields, including dye-sensitized solar cells, the concrete and rubber industries, optoelectronics, gas sensing, the cosmetic industry, the textile industry, antibacterial activity, drug delivery, anticancer activity, antidiabetic activity, immunotherapy, anti-inflammatory activity, agriculture, and photodegradation. The review begins with an overview of ZONMs, highlighting their physical and structural properties. Subsequently, it discusses the applications of ZONMs in the aforementioned fields, emphasizing their outstanding performance and potential for commercialization. Additionally, the review explores the literature where ZONMs have been synthesized using various methods. It provides insights into the fabrication processes employed for ZONMs and discusses the advancements in synthesis techniques. Through an exploration of relevant studies, the review sheds light on the innovative approaches and methodologies utilized for the production of ZONMs across various research endeavours. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the progressive advances and diversified applications of ZONMs, shedding light on their promising role in addressing various challenges in technology, healthcare, and environmental preservation.
期刊介绍：
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
