To overcome obstacles such as low response and poor selectivity of pure ZnO and SnO gas sensors, the ZnO@SnO sensor was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis. The samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, HRTEM, N adsorption-desorption and other techniques. The results show that ZnO@SnO forms an n-n-type heterostructure and presents a double-layer capsule with a size of 0.5-4 μm. The results show that compared with pure ZnO and SnO, the ZnO@SnO sensor exhibits a higher response (138.9) to 50 ppm triethylamine (TEA) at 152°C, which is 19.56 times that of the pure ZnO sensor and 21.7 times that of the SnO sensor. It has a short response/recovery time (11/11 s), excellent selectivity and cycling stability. Compared with other volatile organic compounds or gases, it has higher selectivity for TEA detection.

This study demonstrates the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of doped NiZnO and co-doped CdNiZnO NPs. Initially, ZnO NPs with a unique mesoporous ellipsoidal morphology were synthesized by simple precipitation and calcination. Powder X-ray diffraction revealed the formation of a hexagonal phase of the wurtzite structure.

In this study, we report the improved photocatalytic performance of Hydroxyapatite-incorporated Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite (ZnO@HAp), synthesized using a simple precipitation method. The catalyst was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis (FT-IR), Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The formation of ZnO@HAp was confirmed by XRD, FT-IR, EDAX, and XPS.

The main goal of this study was to investigate the properties of ZnO thin films, including pure films and those doped with indium (up to 8 mol%) that was deposited using a spray pyrolysis technique on glass and silicon substrates in order to prepare the position-sensitive structure, Si-SiO-ZnO:In. To this aim, the present work is focused on investigating the effect of indium concentration on the morphology, structure, and optical properties of the films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals a wurtzite polycrystalline structure.

Piezocatalysis holds remarkable potential for enabling eco-friendly and sustainable HO production. In this study, a porous nanosheet-structured ZnO was synthesized morphological engineering, demonstrating an enhanced surface area and superior stress responsiveness. Furthermore, a carbon layer derived from sodium lignosulfonate was introduced to construct a series of porous C/ZnO composites.

Chronic wounds pose a great challenge due to their slow healing and susceptibility to infections, hence the need for innovative alternatives to conventional antibiotics, as increasing bacterial resistance limits the efficacy of current treatments. This paper addresses the development of novel electrospun membranes based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate, incorporating therapeutic ZnO and bioglass (54SiO:40CaO:6PO) nanoparticles. While nanocomposites presented smaller fiber diameters than pure polymers, ternary nanocomposites displayed higher values, e.
