“…Prasad et al used ZnO nanorods synthesized by a hydrothermal method (Prasad et al 2007a ) and ZnO from the sol-gel method (Mahato et al 2009a ) for HD and sarin degradation with rate constants of 0.36 h −1 and 0.08 h −1 , respectively. Houskova and Stengl (Houskovs et al 2007 ;Houskova et al 2007 ) prepared nanosized ZnO by homogeneous hydrolysis with thioacetamide heated at a temperature of 400 °C, which showed good decomposition of the HD, and its reactivity was superior to that of AP-MgO (Stengl et al 2004 ).…”

Metal oxides have very important applications in many areas of chemistry, physics and materials science; their properties are dependent on the method of preparation, the morphology and texture. Nanostructured metal oxides can exhibit unique characteristics unlike those of the bulk form depending on their morphology, with a high density of edges, corners and defect surfaces. In recent years, methods have been developed for the preparation of metal oxide powders with tunable control of the primary particle size as well as of a secondary particle size: the size of agglomerates of crystallites. One of the many ways to take advantage of unique properties of nanostructured oxide materials is stoichiometric degradation of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) pollutants on their surfaces.

“…Sawai et al [5] reported antibacterial properties of ZnO particles against Escherichia coli bacteria. Recently, Prasad et al [6] demonstrated that ZnO in the form of nanorods or nanoparticles can detoxify highly toxic chemicals. Therefore, incorporating ZnO into electrospun nanofibers can lead to composite nanofiber mats that have the ability to effectively kill bacteria and detoxify poisonous chemicals.…”

ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats were prepared by an electrospinning-electrospraying hybrid process in which ZnO nanoparticles were dispersed on the surface of Nylon 6 nanofibers without becoming completely embedded. The prepared ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats were evaluated for their abilities to kill bacteria or inhibit their growth and to catalytically detoxify chemicals. Results showed that these ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats had excellent antibacterial efficiency (99.99%) against both the Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Bacillus cereus bacteria. In addition, they exhibited good detoxifying efficiency (95%) against paraoxon, a simulant of highly toxic chemicals. ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats were also deposited onto nylon/cotton woven fabrics and the nanofiber mats did not significantly affect the moisture vapor transmission rates and air permeability values of the fabrics. Therefore, ZnO/Nylon 6 nanofiber mats prepared by the electrospinning-electrospraying hybrid process are promising material candidates for protective applications.

“…It has been reported that once EES + is formed, it may be converted to a cyclic cation through an intermolecular cyclization process [33,[43][44][45][46]. After that, a labile hydrogen from the cation transfers to the negative charged lattice oxygen of the zinc phase, that acts like a Lewis base [47,48].…”
