ZnO nanorods (NRs) were deposited on p-type silicon (Si) wafers by low-temperature hydrothermal method. The structural morphology of the ZnO-NR films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. The ZnO-NR films exhibit wurtzite ZnO structure and the average length of the ZnO-NRs were in the range from 750 nm to 800 nm. The electrical charac...

in this study , response surface methodology and face central composite design in order to investigate decolorization and clarification extraction of kaluteh date was used for the production of liquid sugar. the optimum amount of bentonite ( 1-3 g/l ) and gelatin ( 0/02-0/08 g/l ) was determined that the desired amount of bentonite and gelatin , 3 and 0/05 ( g/l ) , respectively. to determined ...

The species ZnO and ZnO(+/-) have been studied by variational multireference and coupled-cluster [RCCSD(T)] methods employing augmented basis sets of quintuple cardinality. Full potential energy curves are reported for 13, 10, and 2 bound states of ZnO, ZnO(+), and ZnO(-), respectively. All our results are in excellent agreement with existing experimental findings.

In this study, the performance and stability of inverted bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cells (PSCs) is enhanced by doping zinc oxide (ZnO) with 0-6 wt % cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the sol-gel ZnO precursor solution. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the optimized 3 wt % CTAB-doped ZnO PSCs was increased by 9.07%, compared to a PCE of 7.31% for the pristine ZnO dev...

Doxorubicin (DOX)-wrapped zinc oxide nanoclusters (ZnO NCs) were developed for the therapy of colorectal cancer. DOX was coated onto the agglomerates of ZnO nanoparticles using a facile coating process. DOX-ZnO NCs with a hydrodynamic size of 170 nm, narrow size distribution, and positive zeta potential were fabricated. The aggregated shape of developed DOX-ZnO NCs was observed by transmission ...

With the aim to determine influence of dominant interlayer cation on sorption and diffusion properties bentonite, experiments with Sr compacted homoionous Ca- Na-forms Czech natural Mg/Ca bentonite using planar source method were performed. The was 1400 kg·m−3, lasted 1, 3 or 5 days. Two methods apparent coefficient Da determination based analytical solution equation for ideal boundary conditio...

Objective: The present report describes the green synthesis of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Argemone maxicana leaf extract by an eco-friendly approach. Also, the in-vitro cytotoxicity of prepared ZnO NPs against the cardiac cell lines of Sahul India Catla catla fish (SICH) was studied. Methods: ZnO NPs were prepared by using Argemone maxicana leaf extract as reducing and stabilizing...

Single-crystalline, high-quality branched ZnTe-core/ZnO-branch nanoheterostructures were synthesized by an in situ strategy in an environmental scanning electron microscope. Composition and structure characterization confirmed that ZnO nanowires were perfectly epitaxially grown on ZnTe nanowires as branches. Noticeably, growth temperature plays a crucial role in determining the density and diam...

Fabrication of reliable large-sized p-ZnO is a major challenge to realise ZnO-based electronic device applications. Here we report a novel technique to grow high-quality free-standing undoped acceptor-rich ZnO (A-ZnO) microtubes with dimensions of ~100 μm (in diameter) × 5 mm (in length) by optical vapour supersaturated precipitation. The A-ZnO exhibits long lifetimes (>1 year) against compensa...

The peculiar properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) make this material interesting for very different applications like light emitting diodes, lasers, and piezoelectric transducers. Most of these applications are based on epitaxial ZnO layers grown on suitable substrates, preferably bulk ZnO. Unfortunately the thermochemical properties of ZnO make the growth of single crystals difficult: the triple poi...
