Tellurite-based glass composed of TeO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 -ZnO (labeled as TTZ) is explored as the host material for a potential 2.7 μm fiber laser. It is found that the glass-forming region, structural and physical properties of TTZ glass undergo considerable changes when platinum crucible are adopted to prepare glass instead of alumina one. Especially, the Er 3+ -doped TTZ glass that melted in platinum crucible exhibits relatively larger absorption and emission cross-sections at 2.7 μm than that of alumina one. Further studies show that an enhanced 2.7 μm luminescence can be achieved from the heavily Er 3+ -doped TTZ glass, the absorption and emission cross-sections, figure of merit and maximum gain coefficient of Er 3+ -doped TTZ-Pt glasses at 2.7 μm are calculated to be 0.91 × 10 −20 and 1.01 × 10 −20 cm 2 , 3.18 × 10 −24 cm 2 ·s and 2.25 cm −1 , respectively, indicating that the Er 3+ -doped TTZ glass may be a promising candidate host for mid-infrared fiber lasers.

Photocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an environmental friendly way to convert platform molecules into high-value chemicals. Here, Au/ZnO catalysts with different oxygen vacancies were fabricated by the deposition precipitation method and were used for the photocatalytic oxidation of HMF to FDCA under visible light irradiation. All of the Au/ZnO catalysts showed excellent photocatalytic oxidation selectivity to FDCA greater than 90% under mild conditions. The Au/ZnODP-H catalyst treated by H2 afforded the highest HMF conversion and the selectivities of FDCA up to 96.9%. The localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Au nanoparticles, oxygen vacancy, and the existence of the Schottky barrier enhance the separation and transfer efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pairs of the catalyst, so as to enhance its photocatalytic activity. The active species trapping experiment and electron spin resonance analysis showed that •O2– and h+ were the active species responsible for the oxidation reaction. The recycle experiment also proved that the catalyst has good stability. This work provides a new strategy for the design of photocatalysts for converting biomass into high-value chemicals.

Microwave-absorbing materials that are used for stealth weapons and equipment should have excellent characteristics of strong absorption, a wide absorption bandwidth, low thickness, and light weight. Ti3C2Tx, as a two-dimensional (2D) MXene material, shows great potential in the field of microwave absorption. However, MXene has problems of impedance mismatch, a narrow absorption bandwidth, and poor absorption performances. In this study, we designed a series of ZIF-8/MXene-based microwave-absorbing materials known as porous ZnO/MXene nanocomposites, which were synthesized by an in situ composite method before being annealed under vacuum. Then, the structure and performances of porous ZnO/MXene were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and using a vector network analyzer (VNA). We investigated the influences of the mass ratio, microstructure, morphology, and microwave absorption performances of the samples on raw materials. As a result, ZnO/MXene nanocomposites with a mass ratio of Zn2+/MXene = 2:1 showed the optimum microwave absorption performance. The minimum reflection loss was −34.31 dB at 8.8 GHz (thickness 1.0 mm), and the effective absorption bandwidth was 3.47 GHz from 13.49 to 16.96 GHz.

The carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS)/fish skin gelatin (Gel) based novel nanocomposite film was developed with nano ZnO for potential food packaging applications. The SEM and FT-IR results indicated that the nano ZnO was success composited with CMCS/Gel film. The X-ray diffraction result revealed that the total crystallinity of the CMCS/Gel/nano ZnO achieved 94.92 %, improving the crystallinity of the original substrate. Compared with CMCS/nano ZnO and Gel/nano ZnO, the water solubility of CMCS/Gel/nano ZnO decreased to 23 %. Moreover, its contact angle reached 91°, representing that the composite film showed better solvent resistance and can be widely used in food packaging, especially in foods with high water content. After nano-ZnO was compounded with CMCS/Gel film, the physical properties were further improved. Furthermore, CMCS/Gel/nano ZnO has higher elasticity and ductility than CMCS/nano ZnO and Gel/nano ZnO. For food packages, CMCS/Gel films incorporated with nano ZnO depicted strong against Escherichia coli (99.20 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (84.70 %) for food packages. The CMCS/Gel film with the addition of ZnO was optimal for producing nanocomposite films with higher water-insolubility, elasticity and ductility, and higher antibacterial properties .

In this work, PCM nanocapsules composed of ZnO/SiO 2 shell and n-octadecane core were successfully synthesized by emulsion polymerization and hydrothermal method . The crystallinity of ZnO was enhanced on the SiO 2 shell by MPTS modification. The granule-like ZnO were distributed on the SiO 2 shell. The encapsulation rate of n-octadecane in nanocapsules was about 45.2 % with enthalpy of 95.0 J/g melting at room temperature 28.3 °C. Furthermore, due to the presence of ZnO, the synthesized PCM nanocapsules had excellent UV absorption properties for whole wavelengths, and the absorbed UV light can be converted into heat energy for storage, and the photothermal conversion efficiency had reached 25.0 %. Hence, the prepared ZnO/SiO 2 @n-octadecane nanocapsules had broad application prospects due to its thermal energy storage , UV protection and photothermal conversion performance.

A novel material of self-shaped ZnO-embedded biomass carbon foam pellets (ZnO@BCFPs) was successfully synthesized and used as fluidized particle electrodes in three-dimensional (3D) electro-peroxone systems for metronidazole degradation. Compared with 3D and 2D + O3systems, the energy consumption was greatly reduced and the removal efficiencies of metronidazole were improved in the 3D + O3system. The degradation rate constants increased from 0.0369 min−1and 0.0337 min−1to 0.0553 min−1, respectively. The removal efficiencies of metronidazole and total organic carbon reached 100% and 50.5% within 60 min under optimal conditions. It indicated that adding ZnO@BCFPs particle electrodes was beneficial to simultaneous adsorption and degradation of metronidazole due to improving mass transfer of metronidazole and forming numerous tiny electrolytic cells. In addition, the process of metronidazole degradation in 3D electro-peroxone systems involved hydroxyethyl cleavage, hydroxylation, nitro-reduction, N-denitrification and ring-opening. The active species of ·OH and ·O2−played an important role. Furthermore, the acute toxicity LD50and the bioconcentration factor of intermediate products decreased with the increasing reaction time.Keywords:electro-peroxone process;particle electrode;metronidazole;degradation mechanism;detoxification

Developing a flexible nano-composite material which is not only impermeable to low-polar oil, but also has the ability of daytime radiation cooling, remains a huge challenge for both academia and industry. By modifying the fiber network of the dust-free paper using nano-ZnO particles (ZnO-DF), we strategically designed and demonstrated dual capabilities of superhydrophilicity/superoleophobicity and daytime radiant cooling for the flexible cellulose nano-composite simultaneously. A superior surface with superhydrophilic/superoleophobic (oil contact angle up to 159° and water contact angle down to 0°) was attained by regulation of surface energy components and roughness. Furthermore, the materials revealed outstanding corrosion and mechanical damage resistance, 152,788 L m −2 h −1 high permeation flux and >99.2% continuous and efficient oil-water separation performance. In addition, a cooling effect of about 5.6 °C of ZnO-DF paper could be achieved by cooperative function of both radiative cooling and sweat evaporation. It is expected that the ZnO-DF paper is promising for the thermal management of wearable products integrated with passive radiant cooling, phase change cooling (e.g., sweat evaporation) and large-scale industrial oil-water separation.

Organic photodetectors with bulk heterojunctions were constructed with a structure of ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PC 61 BM/MoO 3 /Al. The effect of the thickness of the ZnO layer on the properties of the device were investigated by fabricating photodetectors with different ZnO layer thicknesses: 20, 40, 50, 60, and 80 nm. The 40 nm-thick ZnO electron transport layer provided the device with a low dark current density (1.7 × 10 −9 A/cm 2 ), high specific detectivity (2.7 × 10 13 Jones), wide linear dynamic range (78.9 dB), and fast response speed ( τ r / τ f = 0.61/0.75 μs). The results show that an optimal thickness of the ZnO electron transport layer can effectively block hole injection into the active layer, which is a promising strategy to improve the performance of organic photodetectors.

A cellulose-based hydrogel with synergistic therapeutic effect was prepared by a one-pot method. The hydrogel had hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) as a framework and epichlorohydrin (EPI) as a cross-linking agent. Cationic-β-cyclodextrin (C-β-CD) was homogeneously embedded in the grid of the cross-linked structure. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and menthol were used to provide analgesic and bactericidal effects . Menthol was uniformly loaded onto the hydrogel matrix by the addition of C-β-CD and increased the solubility of menthol in water. ZnO NPs were synthesized by in situ hydrothermal treatment . The positively charged group of C-β-CD and the active hydroxyl group of HEC were used to distribute the ZnO NPs uniformly on the hydrogel matrix without significant agglomeration. The hydrogel had a smoothly ordered and compact morphology. It exhibited adequate mechanical, swelling, water retention and oxygen permeability properties in tests. In addition, the hydrogel had an efficient bactericidal effect. Release experiments showed that the encapsulation of menthol by C-β-CD allowed for a slow release of menthol. Biocompatibility tests had shown that the hydrogel was non-toxic to normal human cells.

Piezoelectric field engineering has been recently proved to restrain the photogenerated carrier recombination both in the bulk and on the surface of photocatalyst. Herein, we proposed a bi-piezoelectric ZnO nanorods (NR)/PVDF-HFP spongy film that can utilize water flow vibration to boost the photocatalytic degradation of organic dye. The composite photocatalyst can be deformed by water flow to generate an integrated piezoelectric field from PVDF-HFP and ZnO NR , which can considerably drive the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers in ZnO NR. As a result, the ZnO NR/PVDF-HFP spongy film shows a ∼ 3 fold increase in reaction rate constant of degrading methyl orange (MO) with irradiation as flow speed increases from 200 rpm to 1000 rpm. A model about the bi-piezoelectric effect of ZnO NR/PVDF-HFP was configurated according to a series of characterization by piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) and photoluminescence (PL). This work demonstrates the contribution of the bi-piezoelectric effect to photocatalytic water decontamination and provides a promising strategy to use dual-sustainable energy— solar and water energy.

Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter and one of the biomarkers of psychiatric diseases such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Therefore, it is urgent to explore an effective method to realize rapid and sensitive detection of DA. In this paper, porous zinc oxide microspheres-functional reduced graphene oxide composites (ZnO-rGO) were successfully prepared by a simple solution method, then gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were combined by electrodeposition. Zinc oxide porous microspheres-reduced graphene oxide-gold nanoparticles nanocomposites were used to modify the screen-printed electrode (ZnO-rGO-AuNPs@SPE) to fabricate a fast and efficient non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing platform for detecting DA in biological samples. The sensor obtained a good linear range of 0.5 μM to 100 μM and a low detection limit of 0.294 μM at S/N = 3. Additionally, a sensor was applied to the determination of DA in human biological samples, and it showed good stability and reproducibility, making it an excellent candidate material in the field of biosensors.

The formation mechanism of nanoparticles is of great significance for the controllable synthesis, structural design, and performance optimization of nanomaterials. In this paper, an economical hydrothermal method was used to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods. X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure, and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques were used to probe the structural changes. Scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the morphologies of the products. A self-designed in situ temperature–pressure sample cell was used to control the hydrothermal conditions. The results demonstrate that an unknown intermediate phase, Zn(HCO3)2·H2O, was first formed at 50 °C, having a morphology of nanoflakes with a average thickness of about 35 nm. The intermediate phase Zn(HCO3)2·H2O was determined to have a monoclinic structure with space group P1211 and the following lattice parameters: a = 11.567 Å, b = 3.410 Å, c = 5.358 Å, β = 96.0011°, and Z = 2. After a hydrothermal temperature of 140 °C, CO2 and H2O were evaporated from the Zn(HCO3)2·H2O intermediate product and the ZnO nanorods with a wurtzite structure were formed. The final ZnO nanorods have an average diameter of about 45 nm and an average length of about 2 μm. The axial direction of the ZnO nanorods is the [001] crystallographic direction. By virtue of understanding the formation mechanism, this work is helpful for the controllable synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles.
