Chemical transformation of zinc oxide nanoparticles as a result of interaction with hydroxyapatite

Anaerobic Digestion Alters Copper and Zinc Speciation

“…25 This structure was very similar to that observed when Zn was sorbed on phosphate minerals. 26 The physicochemical conditions in a pig slurry lagoon or a sewage treatment plant are also favorable for the precipitation of phosphate minerals, 6 which have been identified as a Zn bearing phase in OW 27,28 The selection of this reference in LCF was therefore interpreted as involving a Zn sorbed on phosphate minerals (Zn-Ph).…”

Rational design of ZnO@ZIF-8 nanoarrays for improved electrochemical detection of H2O2

“…At the same time, Lv's report shows that the presence of phosphate in PBS can significantly change the morphology of nano-zinc oxide, the surface of ZnO is significantly corroded, and nano-ZnO changes from ZnO to zinc phosphate over time. 55 However, in Fig. 9(b), it can be seen that there is almost no morphological change in the ZnO cores.…”

Composition-Tailoring of ZnO-Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposite as Bioactive and Antibacterial Coating

“…In contrast, the Ca/P ratio of ZnO-HAp (3:7) coating decreased to approximately unity, suggesting the enrichment of the coating by phosphate. Moreover, the at% of Zn decrease by two after 4 weeks immersion in SBF, which can be attributed to ZnO dissolution and reprecipitation of Zn-substituted calcium phosphate . The XRD pattern of ZnO-HAp (3:7) after SBF experiment shows only HAp and ZnO without any other traces.…”

“…Moreover, the at% of Zn decrease by two after 4 weeks immersion in SBF, which can be attributed to ZnO dissolution and reprecipitation of Znsubstituted calcium phosphate. 69 The XRD pattern of ZnO-HAp (3:7) after SBF experiment shows only HAp and ZnO without any other traces. The EDS spectrum and element analysis of pristine ZnO (Figure S10C) clearly shows that the coating was enriched with Ca, P, Mg and Cl, similarly to ZnO-HAp (3:7) coating.…”
