The Interplay of Growth Mechanism and Properties of ZnO Nanostructures for Different Applications (Small 44/2023)

ZnO Nanostructures In article number 2302864, Breanna Clarke and Khashayar Ghandi provide a background on the structure, an analysis of the growth kinetics and mechanisms in-solution, and on substrates, and properties of ZnO nanostructures. ZnO nanostructures have applications in sensing, photocatalysis, functional textiles, and cosmetic industries, which are described in this article. The contradictions and gaps in the knowledge have been summarized, followed by suggestions for how to answer these gaps.
