Effect of thermal treatment on the structural, textural and catalytic properties of the ZnO-Al2O3 system

Emergent ferromagnetism in ZnO/Al2O3 core-shell nanowires: Towards oxide spinterfaces

“…ZnAl 2 O 4 is a well-known wide-band-gap semiconductor with an optical band gap of 3.8 eV, with applications such as photoelectronic devices. 39 Thus, we can conclude that notable solid state reaction occurs in the interface areas by the annealing treatments. Figure 2(a) depicts the M-H curves measured on UZO, AZO, and A-AZO at 5 and 300 K. The annealed sample A-AZO exhibits a much higher magnetism than the as-coated sample A-AZO, whereas the magnetism in the as-grown uncoated NW sample UZO is the weakest.…”

Thin film of ZnAl2O4:Eu3+ synthesized by a non-alkoxide precursor sol-gel method

“…[1][2][3] Also, its high chemical and mechanical stabilities make it suitable for a variety of applications such as flat panel display electrodes, ceramics, and electronic and catalytic materials. 4,5 Bulk non-doped ZnAl 2 O 4 has been prepared by the sol-gel process employing alkoxides as precursors, as well as by coprecipitation and wet mixing. 6,7 Phani et al 8 have obtained ZnAl 2 O 4 thin films by utilizing an alkoxide solgel route and deposition by spin-coating.…”

Effects of Surface Morphology of ZnAl2O4 Ceramic Materials on Osteoblastic Cells Responses

“…On the other hand, this material has good catalytic properties such as cracking, dehydration, and dehydrogenation [4]. The spinel zinc aluminates have been widely used as ceramic and as catalytic material in chemical and petrochemical industries [5] and more recently as transparent conductor. Regarding the biological application potentials of this ZnAl 2 O 4 ceramic material in thin films and in bulk are very scarce.…”
