“…Inorganic oxide materials with porous architecture are especially attractive as adsorbents because these structures are beneficial to transfer reactants to the active sites. A variety of efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly oxide-based nano-adsorbents, such as Fe3O4 [13], MgO [14], SnO2 [15], CuO [16], TiO2 [17], ZnO [15,18,19] and their composites have been developed. Among oxide nanoparticles, ZnO is one of the most intensively studied material due to its unique properties, such as high chemical, thermal and mechanical stability, low toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability and wide variety of particle morphologies [20].…”
