The present study reports an eco-friendly green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using the bioflavonoid rutin. The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, FTIR and zeta potential analyses. FE-SEM image showed that the synthesized ZnO ...
Modifying the composition of the source materials can drastically change the morphology of the grown oxide nanostructure. We used a mixture of ZnO and SnO2 powders in a weight ratio of 1:1 as the source material to grow a complex ZnO nanostructure10, 11. Fig. 4a is an SEM image of the ...
2c, can be attributed to the ZnO covering on the surface of the carbon-black nanoparticles (particles size ~ 26 nm). Additionally, for the FESEM analysis, the samples were initially suspended in deionized water, then dropped onto the silicon wafer surface, and finally dried under ambient...
and also zinc oxide can be obtained from catalyst-free combust-oxidized mesh process (Pantani et al., 2013; Ghanbarzadeh et al., 2014).Fig. 12.6shows the fieldemission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and TEM micrographs of ZnO nanoparticles powder, where it is possible to see their typ...
In recent years, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have gained tremendous attention attributed to their unique properties. Notably, evidence has shown that zinc is an important nutrient in living organisms. As such, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes including bacteria, fungi and yeast are exploited fo...

Different approaches of synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles In the green synthesis process, the phytochemicals present in moringa interact with zinc ions, leading to the formation of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. These synthesized ZnO nanoparticles hold great potential for applications in biomedicine an...
Hormesis describes an inverse dose-response relationship, whereby a high dose of a toxic compound is inhibitory, and a low dose is stimulatory. This study explores the hormetic response of low concentrations of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) toward P
As zinc oxide nanoparticles are being increasingly used in various applications, it is important to assess their potential toxic implications. Stress responses and adaptations are primarily controlled by modulation in cellular proteins (enzyme) and concentration of metabolites. To date proteomics or metabol...
Recently, zinc-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles were developed for cancer therapy [25]. Zinc has potential as an anticancer agent in the form of zinc oxide, which gives promising results against breast cancer cells [25].
