Sep 30, 2021 · Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) emerge as a potential tool to plant science giving promising aspects for better plant growth and yield, which is one of the most important solutions for the explosive world population.

Sep 1, 2022 · ZnO NP synthesis involves four major steps: (1) dissolution, (2) hydrolysis, (3) polymerisation and (4) conversion to ZnO. The sol–gel method effectively controls the homogenous formation and interaction of materials with minimal effort.

Feb 1, 2025 · ZnO-NPs is an inorganic metal oxide that meets as medicine, a preservative in packaging, as well as an antibacterial agent without risk. The qualities of ZnO-NPs are influenced by their size, shape, concentration, and length of contact with the bacterial cell.

ZnO-NPs exhibit attractive antibacterial properties due to increased specific surface area as the reduced particle size leading to enhanced particle surface reactivity. ZnO is a bio-safe material that possesses photo-oxidizing and photocatalysis impacts on chemical and biological species.

Apr 13, 2023 · In this review, we describe various methods for preparing ZnO-NPs, their characterizations, modifications, applications, antimicrobial activity, testing procedures, and effects, including bactericidal and bacteriostatic mechanisms.

May 9, 2022 · ZnO-NPs can improve glucose mitigation, serum insulin production, and blood sugar control [59]. ZnO-NPs mediated diabetic groups enhance insulin levels in serum and that these nanoparticles did not influence hyglycemia in living cells, implying that it might be employed as an insulin secretor [59].

Zinc oxide nanoparticles are nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO) that have diameters less than 100 nanometers. They have a large surface area relative to their size and high catalytic activity.

ZnO-NPs are the most extensively used metal oxide nanoparticles in electronic and optoelectronics because of their distinctive optical and chemical properties which can be readily modified by altering the morphology and the wide bandgap.

ZnO NPs showed cancer cell specific toxicity via generation of reactive oxygen species and destruction of mitochondrial membrane potential, which leads to the activation of caspase cascades followed by apoptosis of cancerous cells.

Feb 9, 2021 · ZnO NPs developed as the most popular metal oxide due to their admirable biocompatibility and low toxicity. The present review describes the synthesis, analysis, optimization, and antibacterial applications of ZnO NPs. In addition, combinatorial effects of ZnO NPs with various antibiotics have also been discussed to overcome drug resistance issues.
