JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 369:665-673. [PMID: 30826559 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.02.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2018] [Revised: 02/05/2019] [Accepted: 02/20/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Photoactive coatings of sol-gel ZnO suspensions were electrosprayed on glass substrates to produce self-cleaning antimicrobial functionalized surfaces. ZnO-functionalized materials exhibited a uniform external surface consisting of a pattern of microspheres with diameters in the 100-300 nm range. Electrospray allowed surface densities up to 0.30 mg cm-2 that displayed considerable hydrophilicity. Water contact angle decreased with UV irradiation to values below 10°. Two different UV doses were tested by adjusting the irradiation time to simulate Summer-Spring and Winter-Fall conditions. The functionalized coatings showed excellent photocatalytic properties towards the photodegradation of Methylene blue. The electrosprayed surfaces also displayed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with >99.5% reduction in the number of culturable cells. The biocidal activity is attributed to the photogenerated reactive oxygen species on the surface of ZnO coatings and the bioavailable zinc ions produced from ZnO dissolution. The photoactive coatings kept surfaces free from bacterial colonization and biofilm formation.

Abstract
The release of engineered nanoparticles in the aquatic environment could pose a threat to the biota. The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of surface water characteristics on zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) and ZnS04 toxicity to the freshwater mussel Dreissena polymorpha. Mussels were exposed to an equivalent concentration of 25 μg/L Zn as either nZnO or ZnSO4 for 96 h at 15 °C in 4 types of surface waters: green water (high conductivity and pH with low natural organic matter content), brown water (low conductivity and pH with high natural organic matter content), diluted municipal effluent (high conductivity and pH with high urban organic matter content) and aquarium water (treated green water with organic matter removed). After the exposure period, mussels were analyzed for air-time survival, total and labile Zn levels in tissues, lipid metabolism (phospholipase A2, triglycerides levels) and oxidative stress (glutathione S-transferase, arachidonate cyclooxygenase, lipid peroxidation). The data revealed that mussels exposed to ZnSO4 in controlled aquarium water accumulated more total and labile Zn tissues, decreased oxidative stress and triglycerides and increased air time survival. While nZnO had few effects in aquarium water, oxidative stress was enhanced and total Zn in tissues were decreased in brown water and diluted municipal effluent and triglycerides were higher in nZn-exposed mussels in brown water. Air-time survival was decreased in mussels kept in green water and nZnO. It was also decreased in mussels exposed to ZnSO4 in green water and diluted municipal effluent. In conclusion, the fate and toxic effects of Zn could be influenced by both the chemical form (nanoparticles or ionic Zn) and surface water properties in freshwater mussels.

Abstract
We report a facile method for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnOs) by rapidly heating a paste of zinc nitrate and sucrose on the hot plate at 500 °C. The transmission electron microscopy images revealed the spherical shape of the nZnO with an average size of 35 nm. The band gap and the specific surface area of the nZnO were measured to be about 3.32 eV and 80.11 m2/g, respectively. The nZnO was utilized for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) in water under the ultraviolet (UV-B) light and sunlight irradiation. Photocatalysis was performed in two types of water matrices, viz., the deionized water and the simulated fresh drinking water. Almost a complete degradation of MO and MB was obtained within 30 min of UV-B light irradiation. Under sunlight irradiation, more than 95% of the MO solution underwent degradation within 30 min. The photocatalytic stability of the nZnO was examined for five cycles, and a similar activity was found throughout the cycles. The photocatalytic generation of the hydroxyl radical (•OH) was confirmed by the terephthalic acid photoluminescence tests. Moreover, the synthesis methodology was validated by triplicating the nZnO synthesis. Every time, the nZnO demonstrated a similar photocatalytic activity, which confirmed the robustness of the synthesis procedure.

Abstract
Waste from non-degradable plastics is becoming an increasingly serious problem. Therefore, more and more research focuses on the development of materials with biodegradable properties. Bio-polymers are excellent raw materials for the production of such materials. Bio-based biopolymer films reinforced with nanostructures have become an interesting area of research. Nanocomposite films are a group of materials that mainly consist of bio-based natural (e.g., chitosan, starch) and synthetic (e.g., poly(lactic acid)) polymers and nanofillers (clay, organic, inorganic, or carbon nanostructures), with different properties. The interaction between environmentally friendly biopolymers and nanofillers leads to the improved functionality of nanocomposite materials. Depending on the properties of nanofillers, new or improved properties of nanocomposites can be obtained such as: barrier properties, improved mechanical strength, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties or thermal stability. This review compiles information about biopolymers used as the matrix for the films with nanofillers as the active agents. Particular emphasis has been placed on the influence of nanofillers on functional properties of biopolymer films and their possible use within the food industry and food packaging systems. The possible applications of those nanocomposite films within other industries (medicine, drug and chemical industry, tissue engineering) is also briefly summarized.

Abstract
This investigation has for the first time utilised environmental resource Prunus cerasifera seed extract phytochemicals for the green synthesis of carpogenic ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). Spherical morphology and size range of 56.57-107.70 nm at variable calcination temperatures without the use of any external reducing agent was obtained. The synthesised NPs exhibited hexagonal wurtzite geometry with an average crystal size 5.62 nm and a band gap of 3.4 eV. Carpogenic NPs were investigated for optical, compositional, morphological, and phytochemical make up via ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Carpogenic NPs degraded methyl red up to 83% with pseudo-first-order degradation kinetics (R2 = 0.88) in 18 min signifying their remediation role in environment in conformity with all principles of green chemistry. Photocatalytic assays were performed in direct solar irradiance. Nine pathogens of biomedical and agricultural significance having multi-drug resistance were inhibited in vitro via the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion assay. The enhanced photocatalytic and antimicrobial inhibition not only makes carpogenic ZnO NPs a future photo-degradative candidate for environmental remediation but also a nanofertiliser, nanofungicide, and nanobactericide synthesised via bioinspired, biomimetic, green, and unprecedented route.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) particles with different shapes and sizes have been previously reported to possess unique optical, electrical, photocatalytic, and antimicrobial properties. Capping agents are routinely used to control particle morphologies; however, few studies have evaluated the influence of capping agents on the growth kinetics of ZnO particles of different shapes. Herein, we report a simple water-based chemical precipitation method to produce unique bowtie-, flower-, and nest-shaped ZnO particles using zinc nitrate and urea in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Three distinct particle morphologies are obtained by adjusting polymer concentration during synthesis. This approach is simple and could enable large-scale production of ZnO particles with diverse shapes. We monitor the morphological evolution of ZnO particles and, at different polymer concentrations, uncover the preferable PVP adsorption onto different ZnO facets that controls the growth directions of ZnO. Previous reports have demonstrated the influence of particle shape on ZnO antibacterial activity. In this study, we show that ZnO particles with these three morphologies exhibit similar bacterial killing efficacy towards Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Our detailed mechanistic studies suggest that the antibacterial mechanism of ZnO particles can be attributed to both Zn2+ release and oxidative stress, whereas shape plays only a minor role in the antibacterial activity of ZnO particles.

Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of metal-based compounds, including metal oxides, has resulted in numerous agricultural, industrial, and medical applications. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are toxic to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as to some fungi. In this study we assess the sensitivity of Campylobacter fetus, a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen of humans and animals, to ZnO nanoparticles and determine whether the S layer protects C. fetus from the antibacterial action of these nanoparticles. Broth and agar dilution assays revealed that ZnO nanoparticles at 100 μg/mL were bacteriocidal for C. fetus. Resazurin reduction assays confirmed the absence of metabolic activity, indicating that C. fetus cells had not entered into a viable but nonculturable state. Photoactivation of ZnO nanoparticles greatly enhanced their antibacterial activity, as evidenced by minimum bacteriocidal concentration (MBC) values decreasing to 16-62.5 μg/mL as a function of strain. MBC assays completed in the presence and absence of catalase revealed that H2O2, a product of ZnO nanoparticle photoactivation, contributed to C. fetus but not to C. jejuni cell death. S-layer-expressing C. fetus strains were more resistant to H2O2-mediated cell killing than were isogenic S-layer-deficient strains. These data indicate that C. fetus is sensitive to the antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles and that the C. fetus S layer imparts protection against photoactivated nanoparticles.

Abstract
Here, we report on ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) generated by nanosecond pulsed laser (Nd:YAG, 1064 nm) through ablation of metallic Zn target in water and air and their comparative analysis as potential nanomaterials for biomedical applications. The prepared nanomaterials were carefully characterized in terms of their structure, composition, morphology and defects. It was found that in addition to the main wurtzite ZnO phase, which is conventionally prepared and reported by others, the sample laser generated in air also contained some amount of monoclinic zinc hydroxynitrate. Both nanomaterials were then used to modify model wound dressings based on biodegradable poly l-lactic acid. The as-prepared model dressings were tested as biomedical materials with bactericidal properties towards S. aureus and E. coli strains. The advantages of the NPs prepared in air over their counterparts generated in water found in this work are discussed.

Abstract
A chemical stability map is advanced by incorporating ion complexation, solubility, and chemical trajectories to predict ZnO, Zn(OH)2, ZnCO3, ZnCl2, Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6, and Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O precipitation as a function of the total Zn content and pH of an NaCl solution. These calculations demonstrate equilibrium stability of solid Zn products often not considered while tracking the consumed and produced aqueous Zn ion species concentrations through chemical trajectories. The effect of Cl-based ligand formation is incorporated into these stability predictions, enabling enhanced appreciation for the local corrosion conditions experienced at the Zn surface in chloride-containing environments. Additionally, the complexation of Cl− with Zn2+ is demonstrated to compete with the formation of solid phases, making precipitation more difficult. The present work also extends the chemical stability diagram derivations by incorporating a Gibbs–Thompson curvature relation to predict the effect of nanoscale precipitate phase formation on species solubility. These thermodynamic predictions correlate well with experimental results for Zn corrosion in full and alternate NaCl immersion, and have far-reaching utility in a variety of fields requiring nanoscale, semiconductor, and/or structural materials. Zinc corrosion product formation is thermodynamically predicted from the macro- to nanoscale through quantification of complexation, curvature, and chemical trajectory.![]()

Abstract
Pulmonary exposure to zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) could cause acute lung injury (ALI), but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we established a ZnONPs-induced ALI mouse model, characterized by the histopathological changes (edema and infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung tissues), and the elevation of total protein and cytokine interleukin-6 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in time- and dose-dependent manners. This model also exhibited features like the disturbance of redox-state (reduced of glutathione to glutathione disulfide ratio, elevation of heme oxygenase-1 and superoxide dismutase 2), the decrease of adenosine triphosphate synthesis and the release of zinc ions in the lung tissues. Interestingly, we found that ZnONPs exposure caused the accumulation of autophagic vacuoles and the elevation of microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain (LC)3B-II and p62, indicating the impairment of autophagic flux. Our data indicated that the above process might be regulated by the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase but not the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway. The association between ZnONPs-induced ALI and autophagy was further verified by a classical autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine (3-MA). 3-MA administration reduced the accumulation of autophagic vacuoles, the expression of LC3B-II and p62, followed by a significant attenuation of histopathological changes, inflammation, and oxidative stress. More importantly, 3-MA could directly decrease the release of zinc ions in lung tissues. Taken together, our study provides the evidence that ZnONPs-induced pulmonary toxicity is autophagy-dependent, suggests that limiting the release of zinc ions by inhibiting autophagy could be a feasible strategy for the prevention of ZnONPs-associated pulmonary toxicity.

Abstract
In the last two decades, zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconductor Quantum dots (QDs) have been shown to have fantastic luminescent properties, which together with their low-cost, low-toxicity and biocompatibility have turned these nanomaterials into one of the main candidates for bio-imaging. The discovery of other desirable traits such as their ability to produce destructive reactive oxygen species (ROS), high catalytic efficiency, strong adsorption capability and high isoelectric point, also make them promising nanomaterials for therapeutic and diagnostic functions. Herein, we review the recent progress on the use of ZnO based nanoplatforms in drug delivery and theranostic in several diseases such as bacterial infection and cancer.

Abstract
Recent studies suggested that phytochemicals as natural antioxidants in food could alleviate nanoparticle (NP) toxicity. This study investigated the combined toxicity of ZnO NPs and a panel of polyphenols. Surprisingly, polyphenols with both high and almost no radical scavenging activities could elicit cytoprotective effects against NP exposure in Caco-2 cells, which were primarily influenced by the positions of the hydroxyl group. Polyphenols with different chemical structures variously influenced the hydrodynamic size, zeta potential, and solubility of ZnO NPs as well as NP-induced intracellular superoxide and Zn ions, which could all contribute to the combined effects. Responses of human endothelial cells appeared to be different from the responses of Caco-2 cells, which may indicate cell-type dependent responses to combined exposure of NPs and phytochemicals. In conclusion, the data from this study suggested a pivotal role of chemical structures of phytochemicals in determining their capacity to affect ZnO NP toxicity.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures have been studied extensively in the past 20 years due to their novel electronic, photonic, mechanical and electrochemical properties. Recently, more attention has been paid to assemble nanoscale building blocks into three-dimensional (3D) complex hierarchical structures, which not only inherit the excellent properties of the single building blocks but also provide potential applications in the bottom-up fabrication of functional devices. This review article focuses on 3D ZnO hierarchical nanostructures, and summarizes major advances in the solution phase synthesis, applications in environment, and electrical/electrochemical devices. We present the principles and growth mechanisms of ZnO nanostructures via different solution methods, with an emphasis on rational control of the morphology and assembly. We then discuss the applications of 3D ZnO hierarchical nanostructures in photocatalysis, field emission, electrochemical sensor, and lithium ion batteries. Throughout the discussion, the relationship between the device performance and the microstructures of 3D ZnO hierarchical nanostructures will be highlighted. This review concludes with a personal perspective on the current challenges and future research.
