Šarić A, Despotović I. Hydrogen Bonds as Stability-Controlling Elements of Spherical Aggregates of ZnO Nanoparticles: A Joint Experimental and Theoretical Approach. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:4843. [PMID: 37445157 DOI: 10.3390/ma16134843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
The effects of various organic additives, such as diethanolamine (DEA) and ethanolamine (EA), and variations in aging times on the formation and stability mechanisms of spherical aggregates of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by using solvothermal synthesis were studied. The experimental results of the structural, morphological and optical properties monitored by using X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV-Vis spectroscopy were supported by quantum chemical calculations at the level of density functional theory (DFT). Understanding the mechanism of spherical ZnO aggregate formation and its stability by mimicking the processes at the computer level was achieved through theoretical simulations of the ZnO surface/additive interactions using (ZnO)36-DEA and (ZnO)36-EA models. The fine-tuned spherical aggregation of ZnO nanoparticles was driven by various interactions, in particular, strong O-H∙∙∙O and weak N-H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds as controlling interactions. The calculated negative free release energy, ∆G*INT, indicates that the ZnO surface/additive interaction in diethanolamine media is a spontaneous exergonic process (∆G*INT = -7.73 kcal mol-1), whereas, in ethanolamine media, it is an unfavorable, slightly endergonic process (∆G*INT > 0). The presence of two strong O-H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds and, at the same time, a weaker N-H∙∙∙O hydrogen bond is the key factor for the very good and long-term aggregate stability of ZnO NPs in DEA media. This integrated experimental-theoretical study highlights the stability and compactness of spherical ZnO aggregates of ZnO NPs, prepared in the presence of diethanolamine compared to ethanolamine media, and provides a promising method and flexible design of ZnO nanomaterials to improve their adsorptive and optical properties.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, oxide nanostructures have been continuously evaluated and used in many technological applications. The advancement of the controlled synthesis approach to design desired morphology is a fundamental key to the discipline of material science and nanotechnology. These nanostructures can be prepared via different physical and chemical methods; however, a green and ecofriendly synthesis approach is a promising way to produce these nanostructures with desired properties with less risk of hazardous chemicals. In this regard, ZnO and TiO2 nanostructures are prominent candidates for various applications. Moreover, they are more efficient, non-toxic, and cost-effective. This review mainly focuses on the recent state-of-the-art advancements in the green synthesis approach for ZnO and TiO2 nanostructures and their applications. The first section summarizes the green synthesis approach to synthesize ZnO and TiO2 nanostructures via different routes such as solvothermal, hydrothermal, co-precipitation, and sol-gel using biological systems that are based on the principles of green chemistry. The second section demonstrates the application of ZnO and TiO2 nanostructures. The review also discusses the problems and future perspectives of green synthesis methods and the related issues posed and overlooked by the scientific community on the green approach to nanostructure oxides.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) micro and nanorods were successfully prepared using Pandanus amaryllifolius and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) separately as stabilizers using the solution immersion method. Two types of ZnO seed layer were prepared using the same pre-cursor with the different stabilizers. The fabricated ZnO microrods exhibit absorption at ~375 nm as revealed from the UV-Visible absorption spectrum, and this is comparable with ZnO nanorods synthesized using HMTA. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement displayed a sharp peak corresponding to the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO microrods. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) of ZnO microrods showed average diameter at approximately 500 nm compared to 70 nm of those synthesized from HMTA. A new finding is the ability of Pandanus amaryllifolius as a green stabilizer to grow a dense ZnO microrod structure with high crystallinity. Results reveal that both samples from different stabilizers during the preparation of the ZnO seed layer greatly improved the morphological and structural properties and optical absorption of ZnO. The main outcomes from this study will benefit optoelectronic application, such as in ultraviolet (UV) sensors.

Abstract
We report a facile one-pot green synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures using aqueous leaf extract of Dolichos Lablab L. as the reducing and capping agent. The optical properties, structure and morphology of the as-synthesized ZnO nanostructures have been characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) supported with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM analysis revealed that the as-synthesized ZnO nanostructures have an average particle diameter of 29 nm. XRD patterns confirmed the formation of phase-pure ZnO nanostructures with a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The synthesized ZnO nanostructures were used as a catalyst in the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB) and orange II (OII) under visible and near-UV irradiation. The results showed the highest efficiency of photodegradation of ZnO nanostructures for MB (80%), RhB (95%) and OII (66%) at pH values of 11, 9 and 5, respectively, in a 210 min time interval. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of the ZnO nanostructures using the agar well diffusion method against Bacillus pumilus and Sphingomonas paucimobilis showed the highest zones of inhibition of 18 mm and 20 mm, respectively. Hence, ZnO nanostructures have the potential to be used as a photocatalyst and bactericidal component. We report a facile one-pot green synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures using aqueous leaf extract of Dolichos Lablab L. as the reducing and capping agent.![]()
