Abstract:
In this dissertation, methods to synthesize ZnO are reported. First, zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized with small amounts of transition metal ions to create materials called dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS). We employed a low temperature sol-gel method that produces ZnO nanoparticles of reproducible size and incorporates cobalt, nickel, and manganese ions into the nanoparticles. Conditions were controlled such that a range of amounts of Co, Ni, and Mn were incorporated. The incorporation was tracked by color changes in the white ZnO powder to blue for Co, green for Ni and yellow fo

Nanotoxicology is a nascent field of study concerned with the potential for nanotechnology to adversely impact human health or result in ecological damage.

There are a growing number of examples of nanomaterials functioning differently in biosystems compared to the parent bulk material. With the rapid growth of nanotechnology and increasing exposure of people to novel nanomaterials there is an urgent need to evaluate the toxi

It can make some ingredients of the material cause thermal dissociation, phase change or getting rid off volatile ingredients. Usually, the highest temperature of the heating process won’t exceed melting point of the material. In this study, zinc oxide was produced by calcination. The precursor of the experiment is zinc acetate. Then, adding different volume of Sodium hydroxide to cause precipitation reaction, which can change the pH value at the sa

However, the size of nanoparticle is similar to the sub-cell structures so that it may lead to severe reactions with the cells which are potentially hazard to the environment and the organisms. It is urgent and necessary to deeply investigate the interactions between nanoparticle and cell. In this study, Zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnO), zinc oxide/silicon dioxide composite nanoparticle (ZnO/SiO2), zinc oxide nanoparticle coated with polyethylene glycols (ZnO/PEG) and zinc ox

Abstract:
In the present work, pure zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) were successfully synthesized by a precipitation method using zinc acetate dehydrate and sodium hydroxide as the precursor materials. The as-prepared precursor was calcined at 500°C and 800°C temperatures for 2h. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD spectra indicate that the ZnO crystal has a hexagonal wurtzite structure. Different compositions of zinc/iron oxides nanocomposites will be synthesized and characterized using XRD, IR, SEM, UV-Vis, and PL studies. The prepared nanocomposites will also be applied

Abstract:
This work reports the development of field-effect transistors (FETs), whose channel is based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs). Using screen-printing as the primary deposition technique, different inks were developed, where the semiconducting ink is based on a ZnO NPs dispersion in ethyl cellulose (EC). These inks were used to print electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) in a staggered-top gate structure on glass substrates, using a lithium-based polymeric electrolyte. In another approach, FETs with a staggered-bottom gate structure on paper were developed using a sol-gel method to functi

Abstract:
Emission of hazardous gases such as hydrogen sulphide (H2S) by a variety of industrial processes and as a result of agricultural activities has become an issue of great concern over the years. The control of these gases is needed to ensure public safety, to protect the environment, and lastly to comply with occupational and environmental regulations. Several techniques including biological and physicochemical methods have been applied to remove these gases from contaminated air streams. In this work, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were used to adsorb H2S gas at ambient temperatures. The effec
