“…During the past few years, nanocrystals of zinc oxide have attracted a lot of interest due to their potential applications, such as solar cells [1][2][3], photocatalysts [4,5], luminescent materials [6,7], gas sensors [8][9][10] and so on. Different technologies have been developed to synthesize ZnO nanocrystals with different shapes and sizes, including hydrothermal synthesis [11,12], sol-gel method [13][14][15], thermal decomposition [16,17], microwave irradiation method [18][19][20], chemical vapor deposition [21,22], and continuous flow techniques [23,24].…”
