Abstract

In today’s world, nanoparticles play a pivotal role in revolutionizing many industries. Their nano size enables novel applications that have the potential to address pressing global challenges. The paper reviews the major properties and their practical implementations of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). Different methods of ZnO NP synthesis produced a surface area ranging from 57m2g-1 to 83m2g-1. A precipitation and green synthesis of ZnO NPs demonstrated its catalytic behavior. ZnOx doped with MnCO3 showed the highest catalytic activity. These properties have applications in wastewater treatment and dye removal processes in textile industries. ZnO NPs exhibit UV shielding and photocatalytic properties. ZnO NPs-coated cotton fabric is used in textile industries as it has more UV protection against uncoated cotton fabric. ZnO NPs are major semiconductors having a band gap of 3.34eV. This gives a range of applications in electrical and electronic industries. Biologically synthesized ZnO NP had better anti-microbial properties, which have a wide range of applications in the food industry, compared to chemically synthesized ZnO NP. The anti-cancer properties of ZnO NPs are due to their cytotoxicity making it a potential drug against cancer cells.

纳米氧化锌的特性和应用小综述

在当今世界，纳米粒子在许多行业的变革中发挥着举足轻重的作用。它们的纳米尺寸实现了新颖的应用，有可能解决紧迫的全球性挑战。本文回顾了氧化锌纳米粒子（ZnO NPs）的主要特性及其实际应用。不同的氧化锌纳米粒子合成方法产生的表面积从 57m2g-1 到 83m2g-1 不等。ZnO NPs 的沉淀和绿色合成证明了其催化性能。掺杂了 MnCO3 的 ZnOx 表现出最高的催化活性。这些特性在纺织业的废水处理和染料去除过程中具有应用价值。氧化锌氮氧化物具有紫外线屏蔽和光催化特性。ZnO NPs 涂层棉织物与未涂层棉织物相比具有更强的紫外线防护能力，因此被用于纺织工业。氧化锌氮氧化物是一种主要的半导体，其带隙为 3.34eV。这为其在电气和电子工业中提供了广泛的应用。与化学合成的氧化锌氮氧化物相比，生物合成的氧化锌氮氧化物具有更好的抗微生物特性，可广泛应用于食品工业。氧化锌氮氧化物的抗癌特性是由于其细胞毒性，这使其成为一种潜在的抗癌药物。
