Aspects Regarding Synthesis and Applications of ZnO Nanomaterials

Abstract

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a promising material which gained increasing interest in recent years owing to its preparation methods and remarkable performances. The paper presents the most common techniques for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles, such as mechanochemical process, precipitation, sol-gel method, solvothermal and hydrothermal processes. Due to their optical, mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties, ZnO offers the possibility to be used in different technological domains, as well as future outlooks for the application of these materials.
