Zinc oxide nanostructure and its application as agricultural and industrial material

Nano sized particles of semiconductor materials have achieved great interest in recent years due to their desirable properties and applications in different areas such as agricultural, rubber industries, pharmaceutical and cosmetic, textile industries, electronic industries, sensors, photoelectronic devices and photocatalysts. These nanomaterials have unusual thermal, structural and electronic properties, which are of important scientific interests in the fundamental and applied research fields. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a promising material which gained increasing interest in recent years owing to its distinctive properties. In this review paper an attempt has been made to elaborate the promising applications of ZnO nanoparticles in various fields.
