“…19 This mismatch may generate lattice strain (microstrain). This decrease of the crystallite size is further an evidence that the codoping with (Al,Er) inhibits grain growth of ZnO, as it has been reported by other authors for ZnO:(Al,Er) 20,21 and ZnO:Al 22 systems. Senol et al 23 have reported that the addition of 5% of Er to ZnO NPs lead to increasing the crystallite size from 29.35 to 63.82 nm.…”

“…In general, there are still few reports on the green synthesis of ZnO and TiO 2 nanostructures in which the solvothermal approach was employed. Despite this fact, Zhang et al [ 159 ] successfully synthesized Er–Al co-doped ZnO NPs by using a one-pot and surfactant-free, non-toxic solvothermal approach. The authors characterized the samples’ structural features and photocatalytic activity by degrading methyl orange (MO) in water under visible light irradiation.…”

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.

“…The pattern of ZnO could be indexed readily to a pure monoclinic phase with hexagonal wurtzite‐type (JCPDS No. 36–1451) , and no other phases were examined. This shows that the synthesized ZnO exhibits hexagonal wurtzite phase with high purity.…”

The ZnO/cyclized polyacrylonitrile (CPAN) composites were prepared by impregnation and heat treatment process. The morphology, crystal type, internal structure of ZnO/CPAN nanocomposites were characterized by UV‐vis‐diffuse reflectance spectroscope (DRS), X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The visible light photocatalytic activity of ZnO/CPAN was evaluated by degradation of methyl orange under xenon lamp irradiation. The DRS results indicate that the absorption of ZnO/CPAN nanocomposites in the visible region was significantly higher than that of pure ZnO nanoparticles. The TEM results show that the surface of ZnO nanoparticles is occupied by the CPAN in small amount. The results of photocatalytic experiment show that the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles can be improved significantly by the modification of CPAN. The possible photocatalytic mechanism was also discussed. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38: 336–344, 2019
