In this research, firstly polyaniline-zinc oxide (PANI-ZnO) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by chemical polymerization of aniline in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles and then, 5%, 10% and 15% solutions of PANI–ZnO nanocomposites were mixed with a solution of polystyrene (PS) in tetrahydrofurane (THF) and PANI-PS-ZnO nanocomposites were obtained. The prepared nanocomposites were used...

in this work firstly zno nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple precipitation method. at the second step titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide shell were synthesized on the core. for preparation zno-tio2-sio2 the sol product was calcinated at 500 ºc for 2h. properties of the product were examined by x-raydiffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform inf...

The transport, retention, and long-term release of zinc oxide nanoparticle aggregates (denoted below as ZnO-NPs) were investigated in saturated, bare and biofilm (Pseudomonas putida) coated sand packed columns. Almost complete retention of ZnO-NPs occurred in bare and biofilm coated sand when the influent solution pH was 9 and the ionic strength (IS) was 0.1 or 10 mM NaCl, and the retention pro...

The metal-doping into the photocatalyst was evaluated for the photocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A in aqueous solution with ZnO powder. Au/ZnO, Ag/ZnO and Cu/ZnO were tested in the present work. Ag-doping ZnO was effective for the improvement of efficiency for the photocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A in water. The optimum doping concentration of silver was found to be 3 wt%. The pseud...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to examine whether Hominis Placental pharmacopuncture solution (HPPS) combined with zinc-oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) activates RAW 264.7 cells. METHODS We soaked ZnO nanoparticles in the Hominis Placenta pharmacopuncture solution, thereby making a combined form (ZnO NP HPPS). The effect of ZnO NP HPPS on the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) ...

The development of hydrothermal synthesis has greatly promoted bottom-up nanoscience for the rational growth of diverse zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures. In comparison with normal ZnO nanowires, ZnO nanostructures with a larger surface area, for instance, branched nanowires, are more attractive in the application fields of catalysis, sensing, dye-sensitized solar cells etc. So far the ZnO branch...

ZnO microstructures with various morphologies have been controllably synthesized by hydrothermal route using different precipitant and zinc source in liquid solution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the ZnO2, Zn(OH)2 and ZnO structures to understand the role of precipitant and precursors in the growth of various morphologies. The nucleati...

In this work ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by one-step aqueous solution method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy have been used to characterize the samples in detail. The XRD studies revealed that the ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO had wurtzite structure (hexagonal). The composi...

in this study, a novel method called “atmospheric pressure solution evaporation (apse)” wasdeveloped for growing of zinc oxide (zno) nanostructures on al2o3 surface. zinc acetate dihydrate,polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and deionized water were used as precursor, capping, and solvent, respectively.the growth of zno nanostructures from evaporated solution was performed at three temperatures of300, 400, ...

ZnO was successfully synthesized by a conventional synthetic route using zinc nitrate as a source for ZnO formation. X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis revealed a crystal size of 66 nm of ZnO and a thermal stability of 500 °C. A small amount of ZnO particles was employed as the source for ZnO-rod growth on nylon 6 surfaces. Scanning electron microscope images were taken to evaluat...
