Background: Nano-scaffolds loaded with bioactive compounds such as ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs), tissue-engineered artificial skin grafts, can be a suitable substitute for extracellular matrix and greatly contribute to accelerating chronic wound treatment by decreasing the chance of bacterial infection. Methods: Silk fibroin nanofiber was fabricated using electrospinning three-dimensional porous...

In this paper, porous zinc oxide (ZnO) nanosheets were successfully prepared by a simple low-temperature hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) tests showed that the synthesized product was ZnO with sheet structure. The diameter of about 100 nm thickness 8 nm. As photocatalyst, degradation efficiencie...

In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were loaded on activated carbon prepared from almond shell (ZnO-NP-AC). Then, this novel material applied as an efficient adsorbent for the ultrasonic assisted simultaneous removal of Basic Blue 41(BB41) and Basic Red 46 (BR46) in binary solution.  The efficiency of proposed activated carbon was enhanced by acid treatment and subsequent modification by physical ...

Zeolite Na-A supported ZnO nanocomposites (ZnO/Zeolite NCs) were synthesized at low temperature (70 °C) via the sol-gel process and characterized for thermal, structural, morphological, adsorption, optical bonding properties. Both XRD microscopy imaging results indicated that obtained nanopowders crystalline in nature with no structural collapse revealed. The nanoparticles occurred mainly on su...

In this study, porous zinc oxide nano-flakes were successfully synthesized by anodization method on zinc substrate in a 0.025 M NaOH and 0.05 M NH4Cl solution with the voltage of 10 V at room temperature. The field emission scanning electron microscopy’s (FESEM) images show the structural evolution during 90 min of the anodization process. They also demonstrate the dependency of growth of ZnO f...
