the objective of this research is characterizing the effect of nano-zinc oxide (nano-zno) dispersions on leach resistance and contact angle of beech wood (fagus orientalis lipsky). the beech wood was cut into standard dimension, and oven dried after treating with nano-zno solution, based on immersion method. three treating nano-zno solution levels: (o, 20000 and 40000 ppm), and two thermal trea...

In this research, ZnO nanoparticles modified with imidazole in O-xylene solution and characterized with Fourier transform infrared FTIR spectroscopy. Then, polyaniline-ZnO unmodified and imidazole modified nanocomposites were synthesized via in-situ emulsion polymerization method. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by FTIR and scanning electron microscopy SEM. The anti-corrosion ...

In the present investigation, ZnFe2O4@MnO and MnFe2O4@ZnO magnetic nanocomposites were fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method and were calcined at 300 °C for 3 h. Synthesis of ZnFe2O4@MnO and MnFe2O4@ZnO magnetic nanocomposites optimized by the different weight percentages. The synthesized photocatalyst...

In this work, magnetically separable ZnO-ZnFe2O4-PPy nanocomposite as an efficient adsorbent was synthesized by two steps. At first, zinc oxide (ZnO) and ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using simple and facile precipitation method. Then, ZnO-ZnFe2O4 mixed oxide was modified by polypyrrole (PPy). The adsorbent was character...

In the present work, a nanostructured ZnO layer was synthesized onto a Metglas magnetoelastic ribbon to immobilize hemoglobin (Hb) on it and study the Hb's electrochemical behavior towards hydrogen peroxide. Hb oxidation by H₂O₂ was monitored simultaneously by two different techniques: Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Magnetoelastic Resonance (MR). The Metglas/ZnO/Hb system was simultaneously used a...

The judgment of Zn plane and O plane of ZnO single crystal The ZnO wafers with size of 5×5×1mm and the resistance in MΩ•cm grade were purchased from HeFei KeJing Materials Technology Co., LTD, China. ZnO is a polar crystal belonging to hexagonal crystal system, and c-axis is the polar axis. The face of +c is terminated with Zn atoms, and –c is terminated with O atoms. A conventional way to defi...

In this study nano-crystalline ZnO particles were synthesized by microwave-assisted solution combustion method. Zinc nitrate and urea were used as oxidizer and fuel, respectively. The effect of fuel to oxidizer (F/O) ratio on ZnO powder properties was investigated by using different urea/nitrate ratios. X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infra-red were used...

Porphyrin YD2-o-C8-based dyes were employed to sensitize room-temperature (RT) chemical-assembled ZnO aggregated anodes for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). To reduce the acidity of the YD2-o-C8 dye solution, the proton in the carboxyl group of a porphyrin dye was replaced with tetrabuthyl ammonium (TBA⁺) in this work. The short-circuit current density (Jsc) of the YD2-o-C8-TBA-sensit...

ZnO nanorods and nanodisks were synthesized by solution process using zinc chloride as starting material. The morphology of ZnO crystal changed greatly depending on the concentrations of Zn(2+) ion and ethylene glycohol (EG) additive in the solution. The effect of thermal treatment on the morphology was investigated. Photocatalytic activities of plate-like Zn(5)(OH)(8)Cl(2) . H(2)O and rod-like...
