The parasitic dinoflagellate in Hematodinium genus causes significant economic losses to fishery and aquaculture of multiple valuable marine crustaceans. It is practically needed to develop an effective and environmentally compatible method to control the Hematodinium epidemics in mariculture. In the present study, a novel Z-scheme composite photocatalyst was synthesized successfully using Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Copper Metal-Organic Framework (Cu-MOF), The N-Cu-MOF photocatalyst showed superior charge carrier separation efficiency compared to Cu-MOF, and exhibited significantly improved visible-light absorption in contrast to the activation of ZnO only under UV light. The ZnO/N-Cu-MOF photocatalyst demonstrated excellent inactivation of Hematodinium perezi microspores, with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) values of 3.12 mg/L at 1 h and 1.01 mg/L at 2 h. The inactivation effects involved the generation of large amounts of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induced oxidative stress and disrupted the membrane and flagella structural integrity of the dinospores, ultimately leading to cell necrosis induced by oxidative damage. The present study provided a new insight and approach for seawater treatment of mariculture facilities, thereby to prevent and control spreading of Hematodinium epidemics in commercially valuable crustaceans.

In this study, ZnO nanotubes (ZNTs) were prepared onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass and used as supports for MIPs arrays fabrication. Due to the imprinted cavities are always located at both inner and outer surface of ZNTs, these ZNTs supported MIPs arrays have good accessibility towards template and can be used as sensing materials for chemical sensors with high sensitivity, excellent selectivity and fast response. Using K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] as electron probe, the fabricated electrochemical sensor shows two linear dynamic ranges (0.02–5 μM and 10–800 μM) towards dopamine. This proposed electrochemical sensor has been applied for dopamine determination with satisfied recoveries and precision. More complex human urine samples also confirmed that the proposed method has good accuracy for dopamine determination in real biological samples. These results suggest potential applicability of the proposed method and sensor in important molecule analysis.

In order to solve the increasingly serious problem of printing and dyeing wastewater pollution, a kind of novel, efficient, and reusable spunlaced viscose/polyaniline-ZnO/GO fibrous membrane was fabricated in this work. Specifically, spunlaced viscose/polyaniline conductive fibrous membrane was firstly prepared by in-situ growth method, followed with the growth of zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphene oxide (GO) via the hydrothermal route to obtain spunlaced viscose/PANI-ZnO/GO fibrous membrane (SV@PANI-ZnO/GO membrane). The results show that the decolorization rate of SV@PANI-ZnO/GO membrane for methylene blue (5.0 mg/L) was 97.4% within 120 min, and the decolorization rate remained above 76.7% after five cycles. Moreover, the reaction process conformed to a quasi-first order kinetic model with the apparent rate constant of 0.0209 min–1. Meanwhile, the free radical capture experiment revealed that the main reactive species in the decolorization process was .OH. This work may provide a new method for designing photocatalytic materials for environmental applications.

Three-dimensional boron nitride/zinc oxide (3D-BN-ZnO) scaffolds were prepared by the ice-templating method, in which ZnO particles were in situ formed by sintering. Then, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/3D-BN-ZnO composites were fabricated via vacuum infiltration of PDMS prepolymer into the scaffolds and curing. Compared with the composite prepared by simple blending, the thermal conductivity of the composite prepared based on the ice-templating method is much higher due to the excellent orientation of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) sheets. Based on the same content of hBN sheets, the further introduction of 2.7 wt% ZnO particles formed in situ by sintering could promote the thermal conductivity of the composite to the value of 1.45 W m −1 K −1 , which is 70.6% higher than that of the PDMS/3D-BN composite. In addition, compared with the PDMS/3D-BN composite containing more hBN sheets, the PDMS/3D-BN-ZnO composite with 2.7 wt% ZnO particles possesses fewer fillers but higher thermal conductivity. It suggests that ZnO particles could synergistically improve the thermal conductivity. As revealed from the morphology of the composites, many ZnO particles are located between hBN sheets and thus construct thermally conductive paths. This study provides a new strategy for the design of thermal interface materials with high thermal conductivity.

Due to the outstanding electron injection/transport capability of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are commonly constructed by employing a hybrid device structure with ZnO electron-transporting layer and organic hole-transporting layer. However, the emission quenching of quantum dots and excessive electron injection induced by ZnO NPs also limits the device efficiency and operational stability. Here, diethylenetriamine (DETA) molecules as the ligands are introduced to modify the surface of ZnO NPs, which not only passivate the surface defects of ZnO but also suppress the overwhelming electron injection in the QLED. As a result, the device based on the DETA-modified ZnO NPs exhibits a peak external quantum efficiency of 23.7%, corresponding to an enhancement factor of 129% in comparison with that of the device with as-synthesized ZnO as the electron-transporting layer. The easy and feasible strategy may also be applicable to other photoelectric devices, such as solar cells and photodetectors.

A series of Zn 1 − x Fe x O ( x = 0 , 0.015, 0.045, 0.075) nanoparticles were synthesized using the solution co-precipitation method, and their structural and property characteristics were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that all Zn 1 − x Fe x O samples exhibited a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure with the P63mc space group. The introduction of Fe doping led to a slight lattice distortion in the samples. The morphology of the nanoparticles, including polydispersion and agglomeration, as well as the presence of the second phase ZnFe 2 O 4 , was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy demonstrated that the band gap of Zn 1 − x Fe x O lies between 3.152 and 3.163 eV. With the increase in Fe ion doping, the band gap shows a slight decreasing trend. Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed that iron ions in the nanoparticles existed in a trivalent state and exhibited two different configurations: One involved iron replacing zinc without creating a vacancy, while the other involved iron substituting zinc with a vacancy. The ferromagnetic nature of the Fe-doped samples can be attributed to the exchange interaction between two Fe 3 + ions mediated by the F-center mechanism.

CsxWO3-ZnO-SiO2 smart coatings were proposed to achieve multiple functions, such as thermal insulation, anti-dust, anti-fogging and blocking harmful ultraviolet light, etc. The transparent hydrophobic hybrid resins were prepared from methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and SiO2 sol, which was used as the substrate of the composite coating. The CsxWO3 is served as the near-infrared (NIR) absorber, and the ZnO is functioned as the ultraviolet (UV) blocking agent. Coatings with different ratios of CsxWO3 and ZnO were successfully prepared by co-blending with nano-SiO2 resin. The morphology, microstructure, surface composition, hydrophobicity, thermal stability, anti-dust and optical property of the composite coatings were investigated comprehensively. The transmittance of C10Z10 (CsxWO3 10%, ZnO 10%, nano-SiO2 resin 80%) coating at 370 nm is 2.3%, and the value of Solar Energy Transmittance Selectivity (SETS) is 0.665, which exhibits excellent NIR shielding ability. Compared with nano-SiO2 resin coating, the thermal insulation temperature difference can reach 7.0 °C. The C10Z10 coating showed good durability in the twenty times anti-dust repeated tests and the efficiency could maintain 70.3% after the repeating tests. The coating showed excellent sustainability after a 45-day outdoor exposure experiment and a 240 h of artificial accelerated aging experiment. Thus, the proposed CsxWO3-ZnO-SiO2 coatings are promising for outdoor smart windows.

The exploration of highly efficient and stable visible-light-driven photocatalysts remains a great challenge for organic pollutant management. Herein, a novel S-doped carbon nanosheet (SCN)/ZnO composite photocatalyst has been synthesized via a facile method using the freeze-drying cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as the carbon precursor. The surface morphology and chemical environment of SCNs can be regulated simultaneously with S-doping. Compared to the pristine carbonized CNCs (CN), the SCN carbonized at 550 °C (SCN-550) has regular nanosheet-like morphology, integrated graphitic structures ( I D / I G of 0.692), rich surface heteroatoms (14.62 at% for O, 1.93 at% for S), and most content of oxidized-S atoms (100 at%). It endows the increased surface reactive sites (specific surface area of 45.55 m 2 g −1 ), accelerated electron transfer , enhanced visible-light absorption, and prolonged carrier lifetime for the corresponding SCN-550/ZnO composite. Consequently, the SCN-550/ZnO shows an outstanding photocatalytic performance for methylene blue (99%). In addition, SCN-550/ZnO composite exhibits general application to organic contaminants , including phenol (91%), formaldehyde (92%), acetone (79%), and methyl alcohol (84%), respectively. Furthermore, the strong interaction of Zn–O–C covalent bond between SCN-550 and ZnO ensures the high photocatalytic activity of SCN-550/ZnO composite after four cycles, demonstrating its excellent reusability and stability. This study develops a highly efficient visible-light photocatalyst of CNCs derived S-doped carbon nanosheets supported ZnO for environment purification.

Employing vertical nanosheet-structured films as photoanodes of quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) might provide a direct pathway for the photo-exited electrons. Here, the vertical ZnO, ZnO/TiO 2 and TiO 2 nanosheet-structured films were prepared by a feasible deposition processes . These films were sensitized with CdS quantum dots and assembled with CuS counter electrodes to fabricate QDSCs. The photoelectric properties of ZnO/TiO 2 composite films were superior to both pure ZnO and TiO 2 films. The effects of TiO 2 coating were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It was found that the photo-excited electron lifetimes in the photoanode were significantly improved with TiO 2 layer. The optimum power conversion efficiency was about 1.95% under AM 1.5 G illumination (100 mW cm −2 ), with a short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, and fill factor of 6.11 mA cm −2 , 0.562 V and 0.57, respectively.

Photocatalysts with different compositions have wide applications in the field of antibiotics degradation, especially for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) degradation. One of the key pathways to improve their performance is by recombination of organic and metallic materials. In this innovative research, the composite photocatalyst PI/ZnO was successfully fabricated by one facile sintering process. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic performance of the samples was studied by the UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS). The results showed that the visible-light photocatalytic performance for TC-HCl degradation of PI/ZnO composite was approximately 71.2-fold and 3.1-fold as high as that of pure PI and bare ZnO, respectively. In addition, the mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction was revealed by the radical quenching experiments.

ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) grown on the Zn foil substrate in the dual alkaline solution by hydrothermal method were first successfully utilized for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. ZnO NRAs were sufficiently covered on the Zn foil substrate via the reasonable match of the pH value, reaction temperature and reaction time through intensive experimental works. To enhance PEC performance, ZnS was coated on the surfaces of ZnO NRAs by ion exchange. The morphological, structural, optical and PEC characteristics of as-grown ZnO NRAs and ZnO/ZnS heterostructures were investigated. Compared with the pristine smooth and hexagonal ZnO NRAs, the surfaces of ZnO/ZnS heterostructures become rough and rounded in shape. Through the sulfidation treatment, some ZnO/ZnS heterostructures with a diameter of no more than 60 nm break and fade away, leading to a decrease in number density of ZnO/ZnS heterostructures. The texture coefficients of (002) diffraction peaks of ZnO decrease from 2.32 to 2.158. ZnO/ZnS heterostructures exhibit efficient separation rate of electron-hole pairs and enhanced visible light absorption, and thus have higher photocurrent density and photoconversion efficiency. In the polysulfide electrolyte solution , ZnO/ZnS heterostructures show good stability.

Room temperature ferromagnetism with the doping of magnetic ions in the semiconducting host is the fundamental criterion for the potential use of spintronics material. In the present study, pure and (Fe, Tb) co-doped ZnO nanoparticles were well-prepared via the co-precipitation method, and corresponding microstructural, magnetic, and optical properties were investigated. The formation of Wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure of pure and doped ZnO was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. No secondary phase was detected in all samples. Microstructural analysis reveals the spherical morphology of synthesized particles with the average size in the nanometer range. Fourier transforms infrared spectra show Tb–Zn–O stretching at 550 cm −1 . Optical absorption spectra show that the bandgap decreases and the absorption band slightly shift toward the visible region with increasing Tb doping, which may be due to the transfer of charge between the Tb ion 4f level and ZnO valance band. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum exhibits a strong emission in the visible range, and PL emission intensity decreases with increasing Tb concentration and is anticipated to be due to the low recombination rate of electron–hole pairs. Most importantly, the room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) was observed in the doped ZnO nanoparticles, ascribed to the bound magnetic polaron (BMP) mechanism. The optical and magnetic outcome demonstrates that prepared (Fe, Tb) co-doped ZnO based dilute magnetic semiconducting (DMS) material are potential candidates for spintronics applications.
