Article Abstract
The growth of ZnO nanorods on the c-plane of Al2O3 substrates by PLD was been investigated by controlling processing conditions such as growth temperature, distance between target and substrate, and background oxygen pressure. ZnO nanorods were observed from the growth temperature of 600 degrees C for the oxygen pressure of 30 mTorr and the target/substrate distance of 70 mm. The diameters of the ZnO nanorods at the temperature of 700 degrees C and the oxygen pressure of 30 mTorr were approximately 200, 70, and 40 nm for the distance of 45, 70, and 100 mm, respectively. ZnO films without nanorods were observed at the distance of 70 mm and the temperature of 700 degrees C when the oxygen pressure decreased to 1 mTorr. The kinetic energy of the ablated particles by the laser decreases during collisions with background oxygen molecules, resulting in conditions that favor the growth of ZnO nanorods.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures with deposited silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit exceptional opportunities for highly sensitive molecular diagnostics by means of the Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS). Here we use the well known method of the hydrothermal synthesis of arrays of ZnO nanorods (NRs), followed with deposition of Ag-NPs by facile photochemical reduction under UV-light illumination to obtain ZnO-NRs/Ag-NPs hybrid structures with superior SERS activity. SERS spectra of a probe analyte, i.

NanoLEDs are increasingly in demand for high-resolution displays and localized illumination in advanced sensing and imaging. This study proposes an improved hydrothermal synthesis process for fabricating uniform, refined ZnO nanorods that maintain their uniformity in high-density arrays. By inducing convection flow and comparatively low temperature environment in the synthesis process, a persistent supply of reactive agents and controlled growth conditions are achieved, enhancing nanorod uniformity.

This study explores the critical role of airborne nanoparticle shape in air filtration performance, with direct relevance to the field of nanomaterials production. Aerosol particles ranging from 40 to 250 nm-including spherical FeO, cubic MgO, straight rod-shaped ZnO, and curved or clustered COOH-functionalized nanotubes-were synthesized and tested to assess shape-dependent filtration behavior. The results indicate that the effect of particle morphology on filtration efficiency becomes markedly pronounced at larger particle sizes.

We have made artificial extracellular vesicles like nanoparticles that contain biologically active Agomir (miRNA mimic)/Antagomir (miRNA inhibitor) adsorbed on magnetic ZnO particles bound by a lipid bilayer membrane from Caco-2 cells (human colorectal adenocarcinoma), which we examined for use as therapeutic nanoparticles or as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents to the gut epithelia. Magnetic ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using Manganese doping in both solid-state reaction (SSR) and alkaline aqueous solution methods. The SSR method exhibited ferromagnetic behavior, whereas the alkaline solution method yielded a nanorod-like morphology.

Piezocatalytic HO generation has emerged as a promising alternative for sustainable HO synthesis, yet its development is hindered by unsatisfactory energy conversion efficiency. Herein, a TiO/ZnO piezocatalyst was developed by dispersing ZnO nanorods within a TiO nanosheet substrate, enabling efficient HO generation in pure water. By constructing a heterostructure, we developed an effective strategy to enhance charge carrier separation and migration through a built-in electric-field-induced piezoelectric effect, thereby demonstrating the superior piezocatalytic performance of the TiO/ZnO composite.
