Effect of polar/non-polar facets on the transformation of nanoscale ZnO in simulated sweat and potential impacts on the antibacterial activity. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 246:114187. [PMID: 36244173 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.114187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 10/01/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The use of nanoscale zinc oxide (n-ZnO) in the personal care products would cause interactions between n-ZnO and human sweat. Facet engineering has been applied to n-ZnO to improve its activity. Nevertheless, it is not clear whether the exposed facet would affect transformation of n-ZnO in sweat. Herein, we prepared ZnO nanoneedles with the dominant (1010) non-polar facet (i.e., ZnO-1010) and ZnO nanoflakes with the dominant (0001) polar facet (i.e., ZnO-0001), respectively. We found that n-ZnO can undergo chemical transformation in the simulated sweat within 168 h or 24 h, transforming into amorphous materials and Zn3(PO4)20.4 H2O and/or Na(ZnPO4)·H2O. Given the rate constant (e.g., 0.093 h-1 for ZnO-0001 vs. 0.033 h-1 for ZnO-1010) of ZnO depletion and components of the precipitate from the simulated sweat, nevertheless, the transformation is highly dependent on the dominant exposed facet of n-ZnO. The ZnO-0001 relative to ZnO-1010 would likely undergo chemical transformation, demonstrating that the (0001) polar facet compared to (1010) non-polar facet had a superior activity to the dihydrogen phosphate anions in the simulated sweat, which is supported by density functional theory calculations. The chemical transformation can affect the antibacterial activity of n-ZnO to E. coli, moderating the toxicity due to a great decrease in the concentration of the dissolved zinc. In total, our findings provided insights into the facet-dependent transformation for n-ZnO in the simulated sweat, improving our understanding of potential risk of n-ZnO.

Abstract
In-depth research has found that the nanocrystal facet of transition metal oxides (TMOs) greatly affects their heterogeneous catalytic performance, as well as the property of photocatalysis, gas sensing, electrochemical reaction, etc. that are all involved in chemical conversion processes. Therefore, the facet-dependent properties of TMO nanocrystals have been fully and carefully studied by combining systematic experiments and theoretical calculations, and mechanisms of chemical reactions are accurately explained at the molecular level, which will be closer to the essence of reactions. Evidently, as an accurate investigation on crystal facets, well-defined TMO nanocrystals are the basis and premise for obtaining relevant credible results, and shape-controlled synthesis of TMO nanocrystals thereby has received great attention and development. The success in understanding of facet-dependent properties and shape-controlled synthesis of TMO nanocrystals is highly valuable for the control of reaction and the design of high-efficiency TMO nanocrystal catalysts as well as other functional materials in practical applications.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanocrystal based photoinitiators, quantum PIs, are a viable alternative to organic photoinitiators demonstrating unique advantages, including a broad and tunable excitation window, limited migration, and more. Aiming towards efficient quantum PIs with tunable properties, a deeper understanding of the relationships between the nanoparticle properties and their efficiency is required. Herein, we studied the morphological effect on ZnO nanocrystals functioning as photoinitiators in both water-based and solvent-free formulations by comparing rod and pyramidal shaped particles of similar volumes and nearly identical surface area. Superior polymerization performances are measured for the nanorods. Photocatalytic characterization including oxygen consumption and reactive oxygen species formation as well as dyes reduction and oxidation, also showed enhanced activities for the nanorods. The different performances were attributed to the anisotropic nanorod morphology which is beneficial for charge separation as well as to the presence of a reactive [0001] facet in the nanorods, which is known to increase the adsorption of molecular oxygen and anionic molecules, thus affecting the catalytic activity. These observations, along with the higher photoinitiation efficiency of the ZnO nanorods, bring them closer to functionality as photoinitiators in numerous photopolymerization applications.

Abstract
Increased application of engineered nano particles (ENPs) in production of various appliances and consumer items is increasing their presence in the natural environment. Although a wide variety of nano particles (NPs) are ubiquitously dispersed in ecosystems, risk assessment guidelines to describe their ageing, direct exposure, and long-term accumulation characteristics are poorly developed. In this review, we describe what is known about the life cycle of ENPs and their impact on natural systems and examine if there is a cohesive relationship between their transformation processes and bio-accessibility in various food chains. Different environmental stressors influence the fate of these particles in the environment. Composition of solid media, pore size, solution chemistry, mineral composition, presence of natural organic matter, and fluid velocity are some environmental stressors that influence the transformation, transport, and mobility of nano particles. Transformed nano particles can reduce cell viability, growth and morphology, enhance oxidative stress, and damage DNA in living organisms.

Abstract
Simultaneously growing multiple nanocrystallites in a crowded space can cause a shortage of precursors, and this can lead to a vertical growth of nanocrystallites on a given substrate. The presence of surfactant-surfactant interactions among adjacent nanocrystals can also place a unique structural constraint on the growing nanocrystallites, resulting in novel nanocrystal facet control. Herein, we report the growth of Rh on Au@Pt nanowires with multiple twinning boundaries, which are found along the entire nanowire length. The Au@Pt nanowires exhibit numerous bead-like structures, resulting from the preferred Pt deposition on the twinning boundaries, which can serve as nucleation sites for Rh. The heteroepitaxial growth of Rh on the Au@Pt nanowires results in unusual crystal growth behaviours. First, novel morphologies of Rh nanorods, nanoplates, and tangled manes are obtained temperature-dependently, which are not obtained in the absence of the Au@Pt nanowire substrate. Secondly, the thickness of vertically grown nanorods and nanoplates is tightly controlled. We also report the structure-catalytic activity relationship on the catalytic hydrogenation of phthalimides by the new Rh nanostructures.

Abstract
ZnO nanostructures (ZnO-NSs) of different morphologies are synthesized with the amino acids L-alanine, L-threonine, and L-glutamine as capping agents. X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows the formation of a crystalline wurtzite phase of ZnO-NSs. The surface modification of ZnO-NSs due to the capping agents is confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals that the concentration of surface defects correlates positively with the number of polar facets in ZnO-NSs. The antimicrobial activity of the ZnO-NSs has been tested against Escherichia coli and the common pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus subtilis. Culture-based methods in rich medium show up to 90% growth inhibition, depending on the ZnO-NSs. Flow cytometry analyses indicate that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by ZnO-NSs contribute mostly to the antibacterial activity. Control experiments in minimal medium show that amino acids and other reducing agents in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium quench ROS, thereby decreasing the antimicrobial activity of the ZnO-NSs.
