Zinc oxide has been considered as a promising semiconductor material for fabrication of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), electronic devices, optoelectronics, and solar cells. Among the various morphologies of zinc oxide, nanorods are more widely used because of the ease of synthesis and providing a direct path for the transport of charge carriers. The electrochemical deposi...

BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistant bacteria can be considered as a main problem in infection management. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), individually or in combination with antibiotics, can be considered as good candidates for struggling against drug resistant bacteria. METHODS In this study, Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel method in low temperature as a cost effectiv...

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 ...

the improvement of the physical properties of indium tin oxide (ito) layers is quite advantageous in photovoltaic applications. in this study the ito film is deposited by rf sputtering onto p-type crystalline silicon (c-si) with (100) orientation, multicrystalline silicon (mc-si), and glass substrates coated with zno and annealed in vacuum furnace at 400°c. electrical, optical, structural and m...

Approximately 10-20% of the total dyes in the world is consumed in the textile industry. The present study aimed to investigate the photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) immobilized on synthetic activated carbon in the removal of the acid blue 113 dye from aqueous solutions. This experimental study was conducted in a photo-reactor with the useful volume of one liter. The eff...

optical modeling was applied for obtaining absorbance spectra and band gap values for different morphology of zno semiconductor. in optical modeling, the relative permittivity scalars of zinc oxide coral like nanorods were calculated using the bruggeman homogenization formalism. zno nano rods (zonrs) as a nucleus layer were fabricated on the indium tin oxide (ito) by chronoamperometry (ca) in a...

In the recent era zinc oxide nanoparticles attracted the researchers due to their unique properties and applications in optoelectronic devices. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are the semiconductor materials having band gap energy 3.37 eV and very large excitation binding energy (60meV) at room temperature. Also it is non-toxic, environmental friendly and transparent to visible range of spectrum. In t...

The water-soluble zinc salts gluconate, sulfate, and acetate are commonly used as supplements in tablet or syrup form to prevent zinc deficiency and to treat diarrhea in children in combination with oral rehydration. Zinc citrate is an alternative compound with high zinc content, slightly soluble in water, which has better sensory properties in syrups but no absorption data in humans.We used th...
