tlooto Summary

Zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibit unique structural, electrical, and electrochemical properties due to their nanoscale dimension, with potential applications in electronics, optics, mechanics, magnetism, and chemistry.

Abstract

Abstract Nanotechnology allocate with the production and usage of material with nanoscale dimension, nanoparticles are large surface area to volume ratio and thus very specific properties. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles had been in current studies due to its large bandwidth and high exciton binding energy and it has prospective applications such as electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and chemical properties that are significantly different from those of bulk counterpart. The aims of this review to provide a comprehensive view on structural, synthesis and electrochemical properties of the ZnO nanoparticles, which were synthesized by different methods.
