Nanoparticulate inorganic UV absorbers: a review

Abstract: Inorganic nanoparticles with UV-absorbing properties are an important class of UV filters. They can be used in various applications and in a variety of forms, including suspensions, nanocomposites, and solid thin films. In this review, an overview of the synthetic methods and their respective products is given for the most popular UV-absorbing nanomaterials, including zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, cerium dioxide and ferrous oxides, and oxyhydroxides.

“…Furthermore, unlike TiO 2 and ZnO, nanoceria is capable of undergoing surface modification and thereby possess tunable redox chemistry, which contributes ROS scavenging capacity [40], in particular the cycling of 3+and 4+oxidation states of CNPs results in superoxide and catalase mimetic activities which contribute most towards their antioxidant behavior. Like TiO 2 , nanoceria also possess high band gap energy and direct UV absorption [46]. These advantages advocate the potentials of nanoceria as an emerging inorganic UV filter.…”

“…Organic UVAs are molecules with conjugated π electrons systems that are able to absorb the UV radiation and convert it into harmless heat [13]. Benzophenones type UVAs are commonly used with HALS (hindered amine light stabilizers), which show synergistic photoprotection [14].…”
