Abstract
ZnO/SiO2 composites have emerged as highly promising materials due to their exceptional properties, including high conductivity, thermal stability, and superior optical performance. This review marks the first comprehensive analysis of three primary synthesis approaches—chemical, physical, and biosynthesis methods—highlighting their strengths and limitations. A detailed comparison is provided, focusing on how key parameters, such as pH, temperature, and ZnO/SiO2 composition ratio, critically influence the size, morphology, and structural properties of the composites. The review identifies significant opportunities for optimizing synthesis processes to achieve desired functionalities. Moreover, the study examines the composites’ potential applications, emphasizing photocatalysis for environmental remediation, enhanced oil recovery processes, and antibacterial activity for biomedical purposes. By offering an in-depth understanding of synthesis strategies and critical parameters, this review is a foundational guide for future research and industrial advancements in developing high-performance ZnO/SiO2 composites.
期刊介绍:
Launched in January 1998, Inorganic Chemistry Communications is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of short communications in the major areas of inorganic, organometallic and supramolecular chemistry. Topics include synthetic and reaction chemistry, kinetics and mechanisms of reactions, bioinorganic chemistry, photochemistry and the use of metal and organometallic compounds in stoichiometric and catalytic synthesis or organic compounds.
