Thermodynamic properties of nanostructured ZnO
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Zinc oxide is a typical representative of multifunctional oxide materials. Currently, worldwide production of zinc oxide exceeds one million tons and the range of applications is very broad. Zinc oxide is used as an additive in rubber, in cement and concrete production, as a white pigment in paints, in electronics, in sensors, as a catalyst of some organic reactions, as UV absorption additive in cosmetics, in pharmacy, as a component of food supplements for humans and in many other areas. An important stimulus for the increased interest in zinc oxide was the recent development in nanotechnology leading to nanostructured forms of ZnO (nanoparticles, nanowires, nanolayers, nanocomposites, etc.), expanding the range of potential applications. Reducing particle sizes below 100 nm is associated with significant changes in physical and chemical properties of zinc oxide. This paper provides a comprehensive overview focused on thermodynamic properties of nanostructured ZnO. Within the top-down approach using a simple thermodynamic model, this paper interprets literary data on the influence of ZnO nanoparticle size and shape on the on the structural and chemical stability, solubility in water and aqueous solutions, and mutual miscibility with other oxides of metallic elements.
