Abstract

Abstract Zinc oxide (ZnO) based nanostructures have gained remarkable attention worldwide for their photocatalytic activation behavior as a semi-conductor metal oxide photocatalyst in different industries, i.e. paints, cosmetic, rubber and composites coating. The main motivation of this thematic review is to analyze the mechanism of photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanostructures (ZONSs) in detail, and their application in photovoltaic, biomedical and sensing fields based on photocatalytic performance and other crucial properties that enable nano ZnO as a potential and competitive candidate in commercial markets. ZONSs were characterized with a wide range of analytical tools including X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopies (SEM, FESEM, TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and UV–VIS spectroscopy etc. These characterization tools provide us typical information about the crystal structure, level of crystallinity, shape, size, dimension and the change in physical, optical and chemical properties of ZONSs. Synthesis routes, process variables and their combined effect on the performance characterization of ZONSs have also been discussed in detail. The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date knowledge to the readers about the applications of nano ZnO in diverse industries either in catalytic or in sensing form.

ZnO纳米结构的合成与应用综述

摘要氧化锌纳米结构作为半导体金属氧化物光催化剂，在涂料、化妆品、橡胶和复合材料涂层等领域具有良好的光催化活性，受到了广泛的关注。本专题综述的主要目的是详细分析ZnO纳米结构(ZONSs)的光催化活性机制，以及基于光催化性能和其他关键特性使纳米ZnO在商业市场上具有潜力和竞争力的纳米ZnO在光伏、生物医学和传感领域的应用。利用x射线衍射(XRD)、电子显微镜(SEM、FESEM、TEM)、动态光散射(DLS)和紫外可见光谱等多种分析工具对zons进行了表征。这些表征工具为我们提供了关于zno晶体结构、结晶度、形状、尺寸、尺寸以及物理、光学和化学性质变化的典型信息。本文还详细讨论了合成路线、工艺参数及其综合影响对zno性能表征的影响。本文综述的目的是为读者提供有关纳米氧化锌在不同工业中的催化或传感应用的最新知识。
