in this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (znonps) were synthesized by chemical method and their antibacterial efficiency against a clinical isolate of staphylococcus aureus was studied. the zinc oxide nanoparticles have shown a commendable inhibition effect on the growth of most notorious bacterial pathogen s.aureus. the nanoparticles size and shapes were characterized by transmission electron m...

The consequences of zinc oxide (ZnO), Aluminum oxide ( 3 2O Al ) and Titanium oxide (TiO2) on tree growth have been comprehensively investigated in this paper. Zinc oxide (ZnO), II-VI compound semiconductor, is used in varistors in power insulation life. Due to its excellent electrical properties such as nonlinearity of current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, high fast-transient response and hig...

elastomer compound based on nr/br was prepared using different kinds of nano-zno and zno. the effect of zinc oxide as an activator of sulfur cure on the mechanical and morphological properties of the compound was studied. the result of the mechanical properties showed that the tensile strength, elongation-at-break, resilience, and abrasion resistance of the compound prepared by zno (4 phr) are ...

background: galvanization is the process of coating steel or cast iron pieces with a thin layer of zinc allowing protection against corrosion. one of the important hazards in this industry is exposure to zinc compounds specially zinc oxide fumes and dusts. in this study we evaluated chronic effects of zinc oxide on the respiratory tract of galvanizers. method : 188 workers were selected from a ...

in this paper, synthesis of the flower-like zinc oxide was performed using microwave assisted dicationic ionic liquid [mmp(im)2 ]br2 . the polycrystalline flower-like zinc oxide nanostructure was obtained when a suitable mole ratio (ionic liquid /zinc acetate) and short duration microwave was used. x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), and photoluminescence (pl) spectra w...

In this work, the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol was studied in acidic media at the wholly electrosynthesized nanocomposites: platinum and its alloys (copper and nickel) anoparticles/reduced graphene oxide on the carbon-ceramic electrode (Pt/rGO/CCE, Pt-Cu/rGO/CCE, and Pt-Ni/rGO/CCE electrocatalysts). The electrosynthesized nanocomposites were characterized by scan...

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via water splitting requires the development of advanced and inexpensive electrocatalysts to replace expensive platinum (Pt)-based catalysts. The scalable hydrothermal synthesis of SnS on N-reduced graphene (N-rGr) sheets is presented for the first time, which is used as a highly-active electrocatalyst with long-term stability in acidic, neutral, and alkali...
