This work explores the antimicrobial efficacy of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) films with varying microstructure, crystallographic orientation and surface roughness. Thin films with different microstructures were obtained by varying precursor…
Nosocomial infections (NIs) are prevalent in intensive care units due to antibiotic overuse. Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), like ZnO, offer potential solutions, yet understanding how NPs size impacts their antibacterial efficacy are…
Bacterial biofilms can initiate chronic infections that become difficult to eradicate. There is an unmet need for effective therapeutic strategies that control and inhibit the growth of these biofilms. Herein, light sensitive mesoporous…
The global pandemic has significantly increased the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE). The antimicrobial coating has been broadly applied to PPE to improve its prevention capability, especially after prolonged usage. However,…
NiO/ZnO-based thin films, including single-layer and heterostructure configurations, were synthesized to investigate the influence of stacking order on their electrochemical performance for supercapacitor applications. To improve the…
Surface-patterned ZnO thin films were fabricated by direct imprinting on ZnO sol and subsequent annealing process. The polymer-based ZnO sols were deposited on various substrates for the nanoimprint lithography and converted to…
Life science research has largely benefited from the use of nanoparticles (NPs), yet fundamental issues such as colloidal stability and control over NP size and shape affect NP properties and functions in biomedical applications. Here we…
Nanocomposite thin films of Zinc Oxide and Silicon were grown by co-evaporating powdered ZnO and Si. This resulted in nanocrystallites of ZnO being embedded in Silicon. The mismatch in crystal structures of constituent materials result in…
The electrochemical deposition of ZnO hierarchical nanostructures directly from PHEMA hydrogel coated electrodes has been successfully demonstrated. A variety of hierarchical ZnO nanostructures, including porous nanoflakes, nanosheets and…
Bacterial infections are a common problem in daily life that can affect human health. Researchers are looking for valuable materials that can help prevent such infections and environmental pollutants. Thin films are a well-known application…
The present study describes a facile route of zinc oxide (ZnO) grows using the solution-dependent electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) method at temperatures ranging from 300 {\deg}C - 500 {\deg}C. In this work, zinc chloride (ZnCl2) was…
Cr-doped ZnO films were fabricated by a new but feasible method, that is, annealing Cr-Zn layers deposited via DC magnetron sputtering in air. Microstructures of the films were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron…
We present the results of experiments on synthesis of ZnO nanoclusters by reactive pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The nanoclusters were formed and crystallized in the gas phase and deposited on SiO2 substrates. The nanostructured films were…
Nanofilms of thickness of about two nanometers have been formed at the air-water interface using functionalized castor oil (ICO) with cross-linkable silylated groups. These hybrid films represent excellent candidates for replacing…
Nanomaterials based on ZnO have been used to build glucose sensors due to its high isoelectric point, which is important when a protein like glucose oxidase (GOx) is attached to a surface. It also creates a biologically friendly environment…
In this paper, Ni-doped ZnO films were grown on a p-type silicon substrate via spray pyrolysis. The Ni dopant concentrations were varied by adjusting the weight ratio between Zinc Acetate Dehydrate (ZAD) and Nickel Chloride Hexahydrate…
Nanocomposite metal oxide thin films exhibit assuring qualities in the field of gas sensors because of the collective opportunities provided by the heterointerface formation. In this work, we present the synthesis of nitrogen doped…
We show a way to pattern the visible electroluminescence of solution-processed mesoporous ZnO layers. Our approach consists in locally changing the nanoscale morphology of the coated ZnO layers by patterning the underlying surface with thin…
